âIt\'s all about \"Location, Location, Location\" and Tapeka del Mar perfectly satisfies all three criteria: almost certainly the ultimate place in New Zealand to watch the sun sink below the horizon as the wine in your glass inexplicably disappears and the kids continue to have the best days of their lives on the safe sandy beach literally at the bottom of the garden. A weekend or week\'s stay is inadequate - a decade would be preferable. We had an absolute ball and will do our utmost to repeat it when next we can assemble the immediate family under Tapeka del Mar\'s roof. Especial thanks are due to Clive, the owner, whose personal touch included a lengthy courtesy call to ensure that we\'d arrived OK, that all was well and that there were no problems or queries whatsoever: he genuinely cared and that\'s refreshingly rare. I unreservedly recommend Tapeka del Mar to anyone wishing to sample idyllic beach-side living in New Zealand at it\'s best. This family scores Tapeka at a perfect 10/10â
This place in amazing! The website really doesn\'t do it the justice it deserves. After travelling for 3 months this was by far the best place - kids (age 3&4) could roam to the beach from the garden and safely be seen from the house! The highlight of the week was jet skiing with the Dolphins! Would definitely recommend!! A little piece of heaven!
