If you like to sleep in, then the honeymoon suite is not for you. They have a dog and small children that wake you up early by running around above you. We also had to kill 8 big bugs( i know its a outdoorsy place and i expect some bugs but not 8) before we went to sleep that night.

Beautiful location right on the beach with all the amenities to prepare your own meals if you want to. The only drawback for us, was there is only one place to get food (across the street) without having to drive somewhere. Check in was easy and host was very friendly and accommodating.

A return stay that reinforced our love for this spot. Right on beach with ocean view to the islands and Karikari peninsula. An excellent return to the 1960s? decor. Excellent bathroom . Beds comfortable.
Good workable kitchen and laundry. Great contact with the owner and her Dogs. Would loved to have stayed longer.

Great stay, loved how close the property was to the beach. Parking was really easy being right next to it. The unit was comfortable and tidy.
Could do with a few more pots, and the blinds cleaning in the main bedroom as there is mould on the inside. Overall great stay, would come back again

Wonderful accommodation, Do not miss if you get it

Fantastic spot, as the name says, it is Golden Sand Beachfront accommodation, easy parking, no hassles, no one mucking around, you are there on the beach, have a glass of wine, enjoy the water, go on the beach.

Very close to small super market, Bottle store, day to day leisure needs.

Cleanliness is top notch, spacious, tidy, upmarket room. Host is very nice and helpful.

Will love to stay there again.

It was advertised as Luxury accommodation. Maybe for the two Honeymoon suites. I know it is advertised as a bach experience, but our room, apart from the bathroom, was average. Nothing that a lick of paint wouldn't fix and some new furniture and furnishings. So much could be done to make this \"Luxury\" accommodation. The position was excellent, right on the beach and private. Staff very helpful as I needed a late checkout. On the whole great but could be so much better.

Perfect location almost on the water's edge. A large unit very well equipped except what we would consider a basic, a box of tissues, was not supplied.
The inside was very clean. We would have liked to have been greeted by the management at some point during our stay, not just a sign telling us which was our unit.

Our hosts were very accommodating. Special little extras such as a sandwich board out the front of the unit welcoming us to the Golden Sands, then a little tray of home baking on the bench, very special touch.
Accommodation was perfect, and what a position right on the beach. Weather was superb even in the middle of winter.
Shuttle service was brilliant picked us up from the motel and took us into Manganui, then picked us up on our return to the motel, couldnt get a better service than that.
We will definately stay again at the Golden Sand Beachfront Accommodation and would highly recommend the Golden Sand Beachfront Accommodation.
Thank you Ed and Shona
