Gabrielle
We were a group of 6 and based ourselves at the Ocean View Retreat to bike the Kawatiri Trail. This accommodation is fantastic and we would definitely want to stay again! The layout of the house works well, with great indoor outdoor flow to a large deck with stunning views of the beach. The house was very clean and well presented with linen and body care supplies! We did our own cooking and found the kitchen had everything you can imagine you'd need. The only downside was choosing who got to stay in the room with the ensuite! The snorers won! We thoroughly recommend this place to others. We also rate the Kawatiri Bike Trail very highly. We had a marvelous holiday. Thank you
Response from Owner
Thank you Gabrielle, I appreciate your kind feedback. I'm so pleased your group all enjoyed their stay and had a wonderful holiday. The Kawatiri Coastal Trail is such a great ride, and I completely agree with your high rating of it. Look forward to welcoming you again sometime!
Ewan
This is the 5th time we have stayed at Ocean View and we love it. Great place to chill out, walk on the beach, sit on the deck, cook great food. Always spotlessly clean. Great communication with the owner. We'll be back again.
