Great location and excellent accommodation, will definitely book again in the summer. The only thing that was below par was the TV that was all but useless. With three children and pouring rain there was no tv and we couldn’t play movies either.

We stopped in just to grab some ice and left with an awesome experience. Tony came to the desk with the most warm and inviting vibe I’ve experienced in my travels all over Aotearoa. He clearly cares very deeply about his guests experiences. All we came in for was some ice and he treated us like Kīngi! It’s situated in such a beautiful, quiet area of Karikari peninsula. Even if the weather was bad I’d go just to hear stories from Tony. Such an awesome guy and a great business in a gorgeous area! Ngā mihi Tony, keep spreading the mana (Love Jared and Wes)

It's not posh, very comfortable and clean. Took our two old dogs for a couple of nights holiday. Lou and Tony (new managers) are warm and inviting. We had a great stay. Our small unit was better than we expected. BBQ area, washing machine, small well stocked shop. The dogs loved staying there just as much as we did. Don't forget bedding for your dogs and the essentials- lead, water bowl and a towel. Just a few steps to the beautiful beach. Really relaxing

Great place to have a great time on the local sandy beach. We stayed in a single-room unit that was clean and roomy and well-aired. The hosts are charming people that are willing to help out with any request.

Rangiputa has been a favourite venue for our family holidays for years. Dave and Deb are great hosts and the room was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend this resort to any visitor wishing to unwind and relax.
