Mokino: Sensational views - in all directions !!!

Upgraded Kiwi Bach , 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 12)
Absolutely fabulous South and West views over Mokau Beach all the way past White Cliffs to Mt Taranaki, which our builder claims has the "Best view in Mokau". Stroll on spacious, wild and exhilarating beaches with bleached driftwood and big surf. Warm and very cozy whatever the season and love the Sundowners ! You really won't want to go home.
_
"Mokino" is situated in a friendly cluster of 7 houses midway between Mokau and Awakino (3mins by car). Shared foot track provides direct access to the beach below, a right turn will bring you to a small cave and waterfall. Great fishing from the beach (kite/torpedo) or cast a line at the Mokau or Awakino river mouths, also whitebait during season (September 1 to October 30). Excellent beach and cliff walks in the area (beach islands and loads of caves to explore). At high tide Mokau river has sheltered swimming/boating, particularly when sea is rough.

First vrbo stay and last…
I recently stayed at this VRBO property and had a very disappointing experience. The place was very dirty and unpleasant as soon as we walked in. Additionally, the cleanliness overall was terrible with dirty furniture and unwashed linens/blankets. Also, the two bedrooms upstairs are not connected to the 3 bedrooms downstairs. I would not recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable stay.

Very nice location and incredible views
This property is all about the views and the location. The house is very simple and comfortable. It would be a little cramped if more than six people were staying and they had to stay inside for any length of time. The downstairs sleeping area is somewhat barren. The property owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Again, this property is all about location and the incredible views.

Great Kiwi Bach
We always felt that Mokino had a charm and a warm friendly family feel about it, comfortable, and a very Kiwi atmosphere about it. But you can’t always rely on nature to provide a clear evening to view Mt Taranaki or perfect weather to stay on the beach for hours but that is part of the pleasure of staying at Mokino. We will always want to return.

Would not stay again
The communication from the owner is 5 star. The location is 5 star. The property itself was disappointing. I did not realise the downstairs bedrooms are only accessible externally to the house. 2 of my kids slept downstairs and were quite nervous to be down there, away from us. Cleanliness is questionable. I had to wash everything before cooking/eating. The downstairs toilet was filthy. A cleaning fee is ridiculous given the state of the property. There was a damp and musty smell which was attempted to be disguised by reed diffusers which were awful - we had to move them outside for the night. I paid extra for linen. We were given a towel each (awful towels - clean and soft but did not dry well). We had 2 single fitted sheets with 2 duvet covers and 2 pillowcases. No topsheets. Upstairs we were given 2 fitted sheets for a double and queen. No top sheet, no duvet covers and no pillowcases. We used a towel over one pillow and I managed to find 2 pillow protectors to use on the master bed. We had no choice but to use the duvets on the two upstairs beds. Unsure whether they were clean but it left me feeling yuck. I felt the need to shower and scrub myself in the morning. The photos in the listing make the property look modern and reasonably new. I think the photos are a creative use of reality. At the price paid for one night, I expected better and our experience with less expensive properties has been 100 times better. I hate leaving a negative review.

Family Easter holiday
This was ideal for our family stay. We had lovely weather so the outside access to downstairs was no problem The only thing I can suggest is that there is some information regarding laundry……. Is there somewhere to do it locally? We managed fine but it is a consideration with young children. Thanks for the stay it was as great
