Wonderful place!

I believe we were very lucky in what we booked for our holiday just before Christmas. We were with friends. None of us had been to these places before. The house is very cozy. Neat, clean house. Everything you need is there. And most importantly, the beach is a minute's walk away. The beach is wonderful! And we were lucky with the weather. We were worried that it would rain all our weekend, but no. We swam, sunbathed and had a very good rest. Thank you Tania for the wonderful house near the ocean!

Ein kleines nettes Häuschen, sehr kinderfreundlich. Bettbezüge werden separat berechnet wenn man keine eigenen dabei hat. War bei allen Unterkünften auf unserer Reise durch Neuseeland bisher immer mit inbegriffen.
