Theo Doukas recommends Holiday Rental Taupo Bay. Oct 2023 on Facebook

Our stay here was exactly what my partner and I needed. Peaceful, beachfront location with access to Taupo Bay’s pristine sand approx 20 steps from our door. Diana is a great host and more than willing to give up some of her local tips over a lovely hot cuppa. Thanks Di we’ll be back next year. 10/10

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sandkist and it turned out to be the highlight of my Northland trip. My host Diana was so warm and welcoming, it felt more like staying with family.
Absolute beachfront, there was nothing better than stepping out first thing to have coffee overlooking the beach and watch the early surfers and fishermen.
The unit was clean and comfortable with everything I needed and Diana had lots of information about the area.
I highly recommend a stay there.
