There really is no other place to stay in Oakura then the beach front apartments .They are stunning, spectacular, i could go on. Great design, amazing views - like breathtaking. And the house is designed to maximize that. spacious shower, sit in jetted tub, fire place, air conditioner, washer and dryer, outside shower, garage parking, an elevator if necessary. Three wonderfully appointed bedrooms. Everything is so well thought out. You can tell that the Joyce’s want you to have an experience of a lifetime. So well worth it if you can get a booking here. So helpful and communicative. Really enjoyed speaking with them. Plus teh check in system is soo cool. Ok I could go on, but really you must stay here for at least a week. Plus its walking distance - well everything in Oakura is walking distance which is awesome. But so close to the beach, the black sand pizza and yep, the play ground and skate park - important when you are travelling with a 5 year old.
