We loved our stay at Red House, it was very clean and tidy, enjoyed all the comforts and the quirky upcycled design features. A real novelty to be so close to train tracks. The sun was shining and the beach access was right at the front door, thank you for letting us stay at your piece of NZ coastal paradise
