If you want to be close to a private, secluded and crowd free beach and enjoy a stress-free and relaxing holiday by the sea, this is the place to go. Enough of the new mod cons mixed with the classic NZ Bach of years gone by, this place was just perfect for our girls week away. While the weather could have been better for late Jan, we swam every day, most days more than once. Two large fridges, washing machine and drier - all modern appliances, coffee machine (saviour). Lulled away the hours on the day bed taking in the sea views - and most days, the wing foiling in the bay - very entertaining. We ate outside at the large outdoor table every evening and enjoyed the Weber BBQ. Comfy beds together with indoor and outdoor shower. Lucky enough to enjoy th freely growing lemons, limes, kaffir lime tree (the leaves were a taste sensation in our gin) and the passionfruit vine. John is a great host to deal with - very accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed making memories in this special place and given a chance would come back at the drop of a hat.
