Fabulous Airbnb experience in a beautiful home with gorgeous views!
This home in Pohara exceeded our expectations! It is a new, modern, stylish home with excellent indoor / outdoor flow. Several large sliding doors open up onto the decks that wrap around the house. The water views of Golden Bay are absolutely stunning from either several rooms indoors or from the decks.
We enjoyed an evening barbecue at the house with the well appointed, contemporary kitchen, which was equipped for cooking gourmet meals.
The indoor layout is excellent with the bedrooms separated from the living areas. There is also good privacy between the bedrooms. The Master Bedroom has a walk-in closet & full bathroom with shower. Down the hall is a powder room (toilet with sink) & then there is another separate room with second shower & vanity with sink. All of the bedrooms were spacious with closets for storage.
Bath towels as well as beach towels were provided, which was great.
We didn't have a chance to use them, but noticed that there were bicycles in the garage as well as a kayak.
The location is a perfect base to explore Golden Bay. It is a pleasant 10 minute walk down the hill to the amazing local beach (or a 1-2 minute drive). Pohara has a few great restaurants & cafes, so it was easy to eat locally rather than driving into Takaka. We found the quality of the restaurant options in Pohara to be better than the choices in Takaka anyhow.
This home was an excellent place to stay to enjoy all the beauty of Golden Bay & we would love to stay here again if we visit this area in the future.
