Old school Kiwi bach! 2 minute walk to the beach. Long beach restaurant just up the road, bakery a 2 minute drive away. Steak and cheese pie and ice creams at the 4 square up the road. It’s basic, functional and great value. Off street parking behind a locked gate was a bonus. NB bring your own sheets and towels!
