Extra spacious
Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Just a short stroll from the beach, Kamea,“The one and only” is an elevated retro coastal escape designed to bring back the feeling of the best childhood summers. Think salty sea air, sun-warmed afternoons, cosy nights, bare feet and no where you need to be.
Wrapped in that slow, easy holiday feeling we all crave, Kamea is a place to switch off, reconnect and make the kind of memories that stay with you long after you’ve gone home.
The space
With a large, private, fully enclosed garden, there’s plenty of space to settle into holiday mode. Spend your days on the deck, enjoy long lunches outdoors, fire up the BBQ, play games on the lawn or gather around the fire pit as the sun goes down.
Inside, you’ll find beautiful retro-inspired interiors and thoughtful touches designed to make your stay feel effortless. Perfect for couples, friends and families. Kamea is also small-dog friendly, so your four-legged family member can come along too.
Kamea is located on a quiet, flat street, perfect for morning walks, bike rides and scooter adventures.
