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 black sand 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.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mokino. The location is incredible, with stunning views and a fantastic trail that leads straight down to the beach. It was a perfect place for us and our doggies, and we really appreciated how pet-friendly and welcoming it was.Richard was wonderful to deal with and very helpful with any questions we had. The bach is also conveniently close to the beautiful Three Sisters Walk, which was a real highlight for us. And the views… truly breathtaking — you never get tired of them!We highly recommend Mokino and would happily stay there again.

We recently stayed here with our family and overall had a really lovely experience. The location is absolutely amazing, with beautiful views that made the stay feel special. The check-in process was smooth, and dealing with the property manager was easy and pleasant.The home itself has a warm, relaxed “beach bach” feel and a great family atmosphere. We really appreciated the character of the place and the sense of history—it felt like a home with stories behind it, which added to the charm.That said, we did feel it could benefit from a bit of TLC. There were a few areas that felt a little tired, such as some ripped curtains, worn mattresses, and a slightly musty smell in places.Overall, we had a great stay and made some special family memories here, thank you for letting us stay at your family beach bach.
