Hi - We're Maria & Matt, a couple in their 30s, with twins. We love travelling and enjoy experiencing the outdoors on the weekends (snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, surfing, gardening, sailing). We feel very lucky to live where we can easily do all these activities. We're excited for you to discover the wonders of the region.

The Surf Nest is located in a rural area and we advise guests to have their own vehicle. There is no direct bus or public transport to the Surf Nest. Only a 10 min drive to Ōkato, 20 min to Ōakura and 35 min to New Plymouth, it is close to everything, yet feels remote. At the end of the public road, you will find a gate giving you access to our private community. Follow the gravel road down to the Surf Nest. Guests will have complete privacy and sole occupancy of the entire house and property during their stay. Although we won't be around when you check-in and during your stay, we are more than happy to assist our guests. Please get in touch if you need anything.
