We had a fantastic weekend stay. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish. They were quick to reply, helpful with any questions, and made the whole booking process really smooth.The house is perfect for a group. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax without feeling crowded.The kids especially loved the pool room and there was so much for them to do in there.There are also plenty of activities close by. We easily drove into Whangarei and Waipu for outings, which made for a great mix of downtime at the house and exploring the area.Overall a really enjoyable stay, we’d happily return!

We absolutely loved our long weekend at this property. The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating; they allowed us to check in early and check out late, which they certainly didn't have to do, but it was a gesture we truly appreciated. The home is beautiful and very well-equipped, and the views are spectacular. Additionally, the fireplace heats the entire house, so even though we stayed in July, the upstairs bedroom remained nice and warm.100% recommended and we would love to come back! Thank you, Karen!

The property is lovely the view is amazing Karen is a great communicator Lovely big kitchen and fire place heats the whole house What I would suggest is finding the property once you get off the main road No street Lighting and part of the way is gravel Driveway to property is long and unlite you will need to keep a look out forthe sign that says Totara Heights

My family had an amazing stay at Karen’s property. We stayed for four nights and there was always something to do around the area or in the games room. There was a lot of space for outdoor activities. The house was clean and it had everything that were listed. Karen was great to communicate with and really made us feel welcoming and comfortable. I highly recommend this place if you’re with family and love the outdoor as there’s so much variety around and space to create an outdoor activities for yourselves. Thank you so much Karen.

The perfect weekend getaway!
Had the best time staying at Totara Ridge! What a gem of a spot. The house was so spacious and comfortable which made us feel right at home. The ocean views were absolutely stunning—such a peaceful vibe to wake up to each day. The games room was a hit with everyone, we spent hours playing and just having a laugh. The place had everything we needed and more, from the kitchen to the amenities. Highly recommend it if you’re after a chill, private getaway with some stunning views. Will definitely be back!
