Holiday Rental House
Tucked away in the best location at the most popular end of New Zealand's most popular surf beach, this house has a magic atmosphere. Ever-changing light, and panoramic views of ocean, beach, and rugged coastline. Relaxed and beachy, an idyllic romantic retreat for a single or couple, or a family or group of up to 6 (with overflow sleeping up to 16, depending on weather-see rooms details.). A picturesque and photogenic venue for events. Just a few steps onto the long beach of soft fine sand, the best surfing spot straight in front, patrolled swimming a stone's throw away (weekends in winter), and wonderful bush walks through spectacular scenery to lookouts, waterfalls, swimming holes and other natural wonders.

Just a few steps onto the long beach of soft fine sand, the best surfing spot straight in front, patrolled swimming a stone's throw away (weekends in winter), and wonderful bush walks through spectacular scenery to lookouts, waterfalls, swimming holes and other natural wonders. Entertain in style on the huge deck to the sound of the ocean; or just relax and watch the world go by from the deck or beside the open fire. The house is orientated to the weather: facing the sun in winter, shelter from the gracious ancient Pohutukawa trees in summer. Sheltered from almost all winds. With a well set up kitchen (including basic condiments), outdoor furniture, 'BBQ with a view', air conditioning, and an open fireplace, fresh herbs and lemons in the garden most of the year (grounds sand, grass and mature native trees), books and games, you can arrive and enjoy. If you prefer eating out, there is excellent casual dining and takeaways (including organic) at 4 bar/restaurants an easy stroll along the beach or up the road. The Piha store has delicious home baking and gourmet takeaways (as well as essentials you may have forgotten). There is a funky art gallery with quality art to suit every budget, surf board manufacture and hire with fashions and souvenirs, a library and post office, and a native plant nursery. Surfing lessons available. There are social events throughout the year. One of the early batches built in Piha, this is our family holiday home, not a hotel: unique, quirky, unfussy, a bit rustic. :-)

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

What an amazing place!
We had the good fortune of staying here, just steps from the beach! The home comes with an amazing view and the location is absolutely lovely because it is at the very end of the beach - little to no traffic and a dedicated parking spot. There are multiple eating options just a short walk away, we had a grand time at the local cafe as well as the local RSA. The house is fantastic for families: Lots of comfortable furniture, board games, a romantic fireplace, a washer and dryer, lots of beds, and a fully stocked kitchen. I can't say enough good things about our proprietor, Vicki, who worked tirelessly as we arrived to wash the large plate windows (which can fold out of the way) that frame the beach. Our view couldn't have been better, ditto our stay.
