We had our second stay here. Great location just across from a beach where we got a show from a sea-lion. We saw a kiwi on the property two nights which was very special. Perfect place for a large group. Lots of towels which is great and a washing machine.

Perfection

Our group of 8 just loved the house and location. There was plenty of room for everyone and was very well equipped with everything you would need. It was very comfortable and was the ultimate kiwi bach - very homely and we loved the family photos. Being right across the road from the beach was awesome. A perfect place for a few days solitude. Thanks Charlie and family
