Mokino: Absolutely SENSATIONAL views !!!

""Best view in Mokau""

Upgraded Kiwi Bach , 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 12)
Fabulous South and West views over Mokau Beach all the way past White Cliffs to Mt Taranaki, which our builder claims has the "Best view in Mokau". Stroll on spacious, wild and exhilarating beaches with bleached driftwood and big surf. Warm and very cozy whatever the season and love the Sundowners ! You really won't want to go home.
_
"Mokino" is situated in a friendly cluster of 7 houses midway between Mokau and Awakino (each 3mins by car). Shared foot track provides direct access to the beach below, a right turn will bring you to a small cave and waterfall. Great fishing from the beach (kite/torpedo/drone) or cast a line at the Mokau or Awakino river mouths, also whitebait during season (September 1 to October 30). Excellent beach and cliff walks in the area (beach islands and loads of caves to explore). At high tide Mokau river has sheltered swimming/boating, particularly when sea is rough.
_
Our family bach is well equipped - just bring your personal items, food, towels and linen (sheets and pillow cases, maybe sleeping bags for kids). Linen packs are available on request (linen fee). Great for 2 families, with 12 beds (3x queen doubles, 2x double/single bunks), and a further 2+ possible.
.
External stairs takes you through a sliding gate onto large deck with access to upstairs - master (queen) bedroom, sunny (queen) panorama room, shower/basin/toilet, and spacious well equipped kitchen/lounge/dining area dominated by huge windows facing Nth, Sth and W. In winter, all made cosy by ceiling panel heaters.
.
Ground level is accessed by level path under deck (no internal stairs), with 2 steps down to bedroom level - comprises 3 bedrooms: double/single bunk, queen, and double/single bunk. Adjacent to downstairs entrance is shower/basin/toilet. Electric wall panel heaters in all rooms.
.
North side of the house has a flat, sunny sheltered lawn (ok for tents). Awesome private hot outdoor shower for washing down after your swim. Garden partially fenced.
.
Mokau has 2 cafes, rural butcher, and plenty of local history at the museum/gallery. Awakino has a hotel, with accommodation, bar and bar meals, bottleshop.

Great views
We have used this accommodation on various occasions and it has always been fantastic as per description in the reviews. Although ours has been for work purposes - what better way to come "home" after a days work that to accommodation this close to the beach.

Very nice location and incredible views
This property is all about the views and the location. The house is very simple and comfortable. It would be a little cramped if more than six people were staying and they had to stay inside for any length of time. The downstairs sleeping area is somewhat barren. The property owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Again, this property is all about location and the incredible views.

The Mokino batch was perfect for our family. Beautiful views, lovely and clean very family friendly. Also loved that its pet friendly so the grandkids could bring their puppy. Short drive to beach to get the quads off and a cool track from the batch to the sea. Would definatly stay here again.

Great Kiwi Bach
We always felt that Mokino had a charm and a warm friendly family feel about it, comfortable, and a very Kiwi atmosphere about it. But you can’t always rely on nature to provide a clear evening to view Mt Taranaki or perfect weather to stay on the beach for hours but that is part of the pleasure of staying at Mokino. We will always want to return.
