Detailed Reviews
Our stay is awesome mainly bec we travelled with friends and booked 3 apartments and just didnt put too much expectation but amazingly we enjoyed the property, on the basic side but couldn't ask for more since we didnt really paid rhat expensive but reasonable amount.
The apartment itself is not that bad, it has 2 bedrooms ( Queen bed each room) upstairs with a shower. Downstairs would be toilet, dining area, the kitchen (with complete basic cooking stuff and cutleries, plates, pans. And a spacious living room with a single bed. Stove, fridge, coffee, tea milk, pepper and salt, fans, shower liquid all are included.
It is 30mins away from Kaitaya Pak n save, KFC and mcdonalds. But there is a nearby Dairy or mini grocery store, around 10 to 15mins drive only for urgent stuff u need for cooking, ice, drinks, alcohol and frozen meats etc.
It has BBQ pit as well, so we did buy meats and vegetables from Pak n Save for our dinner and breakfast.
They provide free use of washing machine and laundry to hang dry.
Only missing is the free wifi, u have to buy it, which we didn't since we have our own data, could be an improvement in future ;)
Parking space is ample enough per apartment. The owners are nice and pretty helpful, i hope they could have more items to sell and make their mini reception to sell more stuff, otherwise u have to buy all when u are in Kaitaya before reaching the property.
They have plenty of beach around the property, short drive of 20 to 30mins and you could find hidden gems around. Water is clear, although some are rough roads but its all part of the travel journey with friends ;)
Bring mosquito repellent specially at night! But 1 good thing about this house, they DO NOT have bed bugs, usually some older properties i will always be the 1st one to be bitten by these bugs!
If u asked me, i will still come back ;)

We love visiting Rangiputa and White Sands suits us well. It is affordable, basic accommodation, with all you need to be comfortable and most importantly for us it is dog friendly. Dave and Deb are great hosts and always happy to help. The soft white sandy beach is right on your doorstep and the water is beautifully clear. A great base to escape to and so much beautiful coastline to explore. Very popular for fishing and kite surfing.

Arrived for a short break on a weekend of stormy weather. Room was clean & linens good quality, bed very comfortable, hosts were friendly and helpful and extremely generous. Had a good couple of days exploring and walking at bargain basement prices. Would recommend.

Had three nights over the holiday period. Deb and Dave are great hosts - nothing was too much trouble. Walked the beautiful Rangiputa beach and went over the Pouheke which was spectacular. All in all had a very relaxing time.

Stayed for 9 nights after Xmas, great location next to the boat ramp so no worries for parking the boat, so close to the beach. Two storey unserviced appartments, bedrooms and shower upstairs, lounge, dining, toilet, kitchenette and single bed downstairs. Shared laundry, clothes line, bbq & fish smoker all onsite. Everything you need for a family holiday. Already booked for next year and bringing all our friends too. Hosts Deb & Dave were great, Dave even looked after our smoking fish while we were out. We look forward to our next visit.

My boyfriend and I just spent a couple night at this fantastic spot. A stone throw from the beautiful White sand Rangiputa Beach, we stayed in a very cozy studio apartment. The host Deb was very friendly and made the apartment spotless for our stay. Fully equipped kitchen, toilet and shower, fluffy towels and a super comfortable cozy bed!
Being low season Deb gave us a very good deal. It is perfect spot for a relaxing little holiday and perfect gateway to visit Cape Reinga, 90 Mile Beach and of course the beauties of Karikari Peninsula.
I will definitely recommend it!
Thank you for being wonderful hosts.

Firstly, this review does not reflect on Deb & Dave. They are the ones that make up for the poor condition of the three bedroomed house we stayed in upstairs. The owners need to put a bit of money into the place.It is very tired, the carpet is threadbare and needs replacing. The shower pressure is average, the fridge is quite old and drips water all over the floor. The dishwasher must have come out on Noah's ark. One day it turns on the next day it doesn't. The cutlery basket kept falling apart. The linen also came out on the ark and so thin. Such a shame, it is a magic spot.
