Peter & Fiona
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The view to the beach and hills was stunning. Mark and Shirley were fantastic hosts to deal with - thank you.

Debbie Fuini
We had a lovely holiday in Otaki and the stay at Rata St was fantastic! Very comfortable, neat and tidy home. Modern appliances and access to spices etc meant cooking was easier and no need to cart kitchen basics with. The views are amazing. 2 min drive to the main beach. Shops and takeaways are a 5 min drive away. Very generous and accommodating hosts, excellent communication - highly recommend!
