23 By The Sea Absolute Beachfront

Ellie and Floyd, the two tiny Shi Tzu, and I, look forward to greeting you on arrival at 23 By The Sea, where the waves greet you also.
You'll enjoy private and fabulous views from your own comfy living room, both to the stunning Cape Kidnappers to the east, and towards the lights of Napier, to the north. Enjoy a dip at low tide, meters beneath your rooms, or simply soak up the sunshine on your private deck or some cooling shade on your other deck.
The living room also has couches, fabulous views, coffee and tea making facilities, a kettle, microwave, toaster, and small fridge, with a television set if the sea stops fascinating you.
You’ll have your own comfortable bedroom with a superking sized bed and en-suite with shower, somewhere to hang clothes, towels and a heated towel rail, with iron and ironing board if required.
It’s only a short walk to a small but well equipped grocery store with liquor sales, a coffee cart, takeaways and a lively wee local pub with pool tables and occasional live music, but you won’t hear any of them from your abode.
You can also walk to several great wineries, with food and tastings available. There are two bicycles available upon request. For the keen cyclists, road-free cycle trails can get you to many further wineries, anywhere from Napier to Havelock North, to Clive and beyond.
This delightful hideaway will be your own sanctuary, and the two dear little, non allergenic, dogs can be part of your break, or not. Off street gated parking is available also.
We look forward to welcoming you at 23 By The Sea. Additional accommodation may be secured right next door (when their bookings allow ) for those wishing to accommodate more people.
Your own, well socialised dog, may be allowed by negotiation. Please don’t hesitate to ask.

A place to recharge
Hubby, our dog (Rodger) and I had a lovely relaxed 2 night break here. Jo and her 2 wee kuri met us on arrival and then left us to enjoy our stay. We were able to relax, watch a bit of TV, sleep and do absolutely nothing. We had dinner at the pub on our first night there - hubby loved his steak and I had fish and chip, Rodger somehow managed to get a slice of steak too. The bed was fantastic but if you're short like me, you need to use the stool to get on the bed. Thank you very much Jo for hosting us - we all enjoyed ourselves..

Beautiful spot. Great host.
Easy to find, perfect location and cosy accommodation. There was abit of misunderstanding as i thought id booked a 2 bedroom accommodation with a kitchen. There was however a day bed and a spacious bedroom and bed so it really didnt matter. Jos place is the quentissential beach home. Shes a great host and even checked on us during a night where the swells were actually reaching the house. Which we really appreciated. Great spot for a relaxing weekend away.

Couldn't get closer to the sea
We had a fantastic stay, so close to the sea, on arrival there was a seal playing in the surf right outside our unit. There was everything in the unit including 2 bottle of bubbles in the fridge which we had that evening on the deck taking in the ambience and the waves crashing on the beach, and the best thing was having our furbaby with us. The bed amazing, cleanliness couldn't fault. Thank you Jo we will be back soon. Debbie and Ray

Has a cute, kiwi bach feel. Lovely outlook, right over the sea. Huge comfortable bed. No kitchen sink, so dishes have to be washed in a plastic bowl, in the bathroom. Microwave positioned very low - almost at floor height...very difficult to see/use. Nice place to relax in...warm and friendly feel.

Exactly what we needed
Just a quiet weekend away to de-stress. Was absolutely heavenly. First day was really breezy but hot so sat outside and just watched the surf. Left the sliders open at night to catch the breeze and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Best relaxing weekend I've had in years. Thanks Jo you were a wonderful host and we'll definitely book again!

Relaxing getaway by tge sea
Jo's place is fabulously decorated with a seaside theme. She's also a great host- very helpful and friendly. We really appreciated being able to have our small dog with us, with beach areas adjacent where we could take her for walks. The Haumoana area is very scenic with wineries and restaurants nearby as well as bike tracks. We higy recommend Jo's place. Thank you for having us to stay

Bach 23 by the sea
We arrived and were greeted by our host Jo and her 2 pups who were friendly and welcoming .The position is truely unique being right on the waters edge and the little Bach was lovely and clean and had all we needed. A nice touch was a cold bottle of wine in the fridge to kick off our tour of the wine country we had come to visit.Unfortunately after a couple of days the weather changed and we had to batten down the hatches for a rough day or two.Although we did manage to find things to do many of the vineyards were closed.Our lovely host Jo offered us another complimentary nights stay because the weather had improved and we could get out and see some more of the area which we availed her of,a very generous offer. We have had a very memorable stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others or booking it again

Magic Location
Perfectly situated right on the water so you can check out what the tide is doing. Very easy walks in the area and close to Te Awanga Hygge cafe (5 kms). Loved just chilling out while gazing out the window. Had planned on fishing or biking but the wee bach was just so perfect we basically just stayed there.

Lovely relaxing stay
The wee sleepout was very comfortable, clean and the location can’t be beat. We loved reading books by the ocean and watching the waves. We were so lucky we saw orcas, dolphins and seals from the house! Location is great, close to Te Awanga winery and across from Black Dog coffee which are both excellent. The bed was super comfortable and it had nice touches. Only downside is the hot water takes ages which felt a bit wasteful and there is no kitchen sink - manageable for two nights definitely and loved being able to take our dog!

We love staying here. The property is well kept, Jo is an attentive but discreet host and Floyd and Ellie are adorable (even if Tess the border collie wasn’t as convinced). And if that wasn’t enough the dominance of the sea makes it an incredible place to stay.
