The space
I am a 62-year old art curator who loves living by the beach and enjoying nature. My place is small, so would suit active guests who want to be in the outdoors, enjoying beach walks, cycling, kayaking and birdwatching as the area has plenty of opportunities to enjoy these past times. The guest suite is spotlessly clean with lots of character and is fully sustainable with solar panels, filtered rainwater and double-glazing as well as recycled furniture. Please note that the property is the one downstairs, and closest to the road which has two water tanks attached to it. It has a 10 metre flat driveway leading to the garage. If you go upstairs there is a shared deck area which is closed in by plastic roller blinds. You are welcome to use this area.

While there is a shop in Ōrere Point which sells necessities, if you are staying a couple of days, it is advisable to bring groceries with you as the area is isolated, and it is over an hour's drive to reach a supermarket. Takeaways (fish and chips in Kaiaua are excellent, and liquor is sold in the Ōrere shop) close around 6pm in Ōrere Point store and 7pm at Kawakawa Bay.

Part of my collection of Tongan tapa, paintings, prints and embroideries by some of New Zealand's leading artists is on display.

Guest access
On arrival, you can use the remote control and drive right in to the garage. Make yourself a cup of tea before you get ready for a swim, and walk through the laundry to the bedroom and en suite bathroom.

Everything you need

Though I only met Linda once, she communicated with me quickly by messenger and had prepared everything that I needed for a wonderful stay. The apartment was very nice and the process for arrival and departure went very smoothly. Thank you!

We were very confused as to where we were to sleep - downstairs was the bathroom but upstairs the towels were on the bed...a neighbour walked into the sun room for a glass of water and said we were supposed to be downstairs.....the write-up on the property said it was an entire house which sleeps 2 people......the upstairs part of the house was open and unlocked so we thought we had the whole house to ourselves. Very confusing. Downstairs was very clean and nice but upstairs was very dated, tattered and cluttered. In the future, the owners should lock and close the upstairs portion of the property and revise the description of the area to be rented. We felt it was overpriced for what we got.

Small studio in quiet village

The property was accessed via the garage. The kitchen was very basic with nowhere to put wet plates etc after washing up. There is a 2 ring hot plate for cooking which didn’t appear very safe. The washing machine leaked all over the kitchen floor when used. There is no living area, just 2 chairs in the bedroom and storage for clothes is just a small wardrobe in the bathroom. The upstairs had a young couple staying so the shared deck did not seem usable to us. The couple upstairs were quite noisy and could easily be heard moving around upstairs.
