Amazing!
This place is more impressive than the pictures show. Carnie is an amazing host and makes sure everything you need for a relaxing beach front stay is availble. Waking up seeing the ocean every morning, walking on the beach gave us much relaxation after 4 1/2 weeks traveling in NZ.

Beach front paradise
This Wainui beach Bach studio was perfect for my husband and I. Beautiful beach view, gorgeous beach just a few steps away. Our hosts Carnie and Ivan couldn’t have been nicer. Carnie contacted me a few days ahead to advise me of road closures and offered to put us up early to avoid the closure. There is some surf breaks on this beach so my husband was a happy camper. We hope to visit again as it is a special place.

Living the dream
We enjoyed our stay in the basement flat. It was immaculate, great bed and the view is amazing across a garden and out to the beach and sea. There is a steep grade to walk down, and stairs to negotiate to get to the flat’s access path. The beach is delightful and the community a real working town. Don’t miss the farmers market!

Relaxing getaway
We had a perfect stay at Carnie and Ivan's place. The house is ideally located right on the beach and has everything you need. The studio is located under the main house yet is very private and has spectacular views of the ocean. We were there for eight nights and felt right at home. The bed is comfortable, with loads of pillow choices and a well-stocked kitchenette. My husband enjoyed Ivan's local knowledge and they both went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommended.

Carnie and Ivan have created magic in the their ground-floor ocean-view suite under their beautiful home. We lived inside that magic for six nights and this hideway was the threshold for the magic waiting outside, through the trees, to the beach and beyond. I cannot over state what a couple's haven this is!
