Ocean View Retreat - Stay Orewa

Amazing location, short stroll to the shops or the beach. The house is beautiful, tidy, modern and had everything we needed. I love that every room has its own bathroom. Cosy and warm during our winter stay with the heat pumps in the living area and bedroom. Comfortable bed in the master suite. Also super convenient having a garage to use.

I had a little trouble getting the keypad on the front door to light up. My husband seemed to find it easier though so maybe it was just me. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

The location was awesome, the rooms were fantastic and there was everything we needed and more. It was a home away from home and we all loved our time there. The eateries were a short walk from the place, the beach was just across the road with easy access.

I have no complaints, it was a fantastic place to stay.

Great location. Very close to the beach and all the cafes and shops. Really easy to get in and the host is friendly, responsive and helpful. Clean, modern and spacious. It had everything we needed including washing machine and dryer.

Location and quality of facilities

Beautiful place in a gorgeous country. The house is much nicer and larger than my own in Tokyo, and I really appreciated the flexibility of the owner for an early check-in. They were also very responsive to questions while remaining respectful of privacy. The location is excellent—within walking distance of the sea and a supermarket—and the starry nights from the balcony were a highlight.

While the property works well for adults, it may not be ideal for young children. There are a few potential safety considerations, such as lamps that can become quite warm and are positioned close to the bed, and some items like cutlery are within easy reach. During the stay, I encountered some insects, including cockroaches in one of the bedrooms, which may be worth addressing.

Our family of 5, with 3 kids, had the best stay at Ocean View, the location is so close to the beach and also to the village shops. The whole place was modern and clean. Every bed was very comfortable and having air con through the house made it nice and cool on some of the hottest nights. Two living areas was great too so we all had some space to relax. Would recommend to any family looking for a beach stay, short or long.

Front door had a few lock issues but the owner came round and helped us out within 10 mins!

Lovely apartment and brilliant communication from the owners. Just a wonderful place to stay

Excellent modern apartment which suited our family’s needs, close walk to town and beach. Easy for day trips to Auckland.

The property was modern, clean and very comfortable

Nothing - it was great

La maison en triplex est exceptionnel, tout est neuf tout est bien agencé à deux, pas de la plage et des magasins

Il faut être deux pour ouvrir et fermer le garage, une télécommande serait plus pratique

Beautiful home and very close to restaurants and shopping and beach

Helpful to know things Attractions in Orewa

Superb location. Close to beach access. Booking, getting key, parking etc all great. Beds comfortable. All facilities wonderful. We were three adults to it was good having our own rooms and ensuites.

We had an issue getting the TV to go but that was only because previous booking had logged out of it. Fixed easily. Hosts were very helpful

We loved this place - spacious, comfortable and modern fixtures, close to amenities and the beach. You had green tea sachets too. Thank you.

Nothing.

Excellent location - less than one minute walk to the cafes and shops and just across the road from the beach. The property was quite new and in excellent condition: modern kitchen and each bedroom had an ensuite. Being able to park our car in the garage was a big plus. Communication from the host was prompt and welcoming.

We have nothing negative to say about the property. But if you have mobility issues be aware that it is a townhouse split over 3 levels with 2 sets of stairs; no lift.

Great location and easy to access. Very clean and modern. Kitchen was well stocked and the house was very comfortable.

We struggled to get the tv working. When using the streaming services, the programme glitched repeatedly. Even watching live tv was difficult. It would have been handy to have a radio or Bluetooth speaker to use as well.

The location was excellent, being across the road from the stunning Orewa beach and a short walk from shops and cafes. The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed.

These are not criticisms, just points to bear in mind when considering this apartment. The main bedroom is much larger than the others, with a dressing room and large bathroom, which makes room allocation uneven for couples travelling together. There are two full flights of stairs to the top 2 bedrooms which could be a problem for some travellers with heavy cases. The keyless entry system and alarm sounds complicated to operate but in fact it is easy and it's great not to have to bother with keys.

The property is exceptional and so well located. It was spotless! Each room has an en-suite plus there is an extra toilet! The property felt spacious and safe. Loved the lounge couches!

The home was comfortable and very clean, all facilities in excellent order. We were very close to the beach access and could walk to cafes etc. THe three bathrooms was a real asset as we were six adults (3 couples) and a toddler

Some more toilet rolls and bags for kitchen rubbish bin would have been useful. Perhaps cleaners/owners are not used to a four day stay with six people. A smallish thing though as it was easy to re stock from supermarket close by.

The stay experience was great, the rooms were clean and tidy. The location is very convenient walking distance to the beach, supermarkets, restaurants.

Excellent place, with all the amenities. The pictures match the description and the instructions easy to follow. Close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Hosts were very nice and helpful. Had a wonderful stay and would recommend to friends and family.

We chose this place as it was handy to our Grandsons birthday, but it was an awesome place to stay. Clean, tidy, everything you need and very warm and cosy. We would happily stay again :)

No issues for us.

Very clean, great layout for several couples. Well appointed. great location

Nothing I can think of

The location was good and handy. Near to the restaurants.

There were no proper wine glasses. We had to go and purchase some. I have mobility issues so climbing stairs was a bit of an issue for me. Otherwise all good. Just to let you know that someone from Booking.Com tried to use my visa card for a purchase of $524.00 yesterday. The Bank sent me a code so I I went to the Bank and informed them that I did not make that purchase.

Location was perfect for a holiday.

Lovely accom very handy to the town centre so we could walk for dinner.

Not much it met all my expectations.

Clean and comfortable Walking distance beach and town centre

Nothing

Well set out and organised. Kitchen had everything we needed, not that we cooked much as some good cafes/restaurants nearby. A couple of minutes to beach and cafes. As a group having 3 bathrooms was great! Cold weather while there, house was very warm.

Nothing really.
