Visited Orewa for a wedding, wanted somewhere nice ! Waves looked the best on the web, and did not disappoint. Rooms were well appointed, everything you need for overnight or w/e, and spotless. Beach was vertually outside the entrance, with pleanty of food outlets a short walk along the 'parade' Will definately return on route to / from the north.

Lots of small quibbles on arrival : door handle to apartment fell off, shelf missing from tiny fridge, absolutely no information on room equipment or local facilities in the room. All of these were rectified by Philip & Melissa but nonetheless, they shouldn't have happened. On the second morning of our 3... More

Stayed here with my son in a 1 bedroom, second floor room for two nights. The owners were very obliging when I asked to change rooms as the first room they offered only had two very small tub chairs in the lounge - not at all comfortable. We neded up i na room without a spa bath but the peep... More
