Beautiful location right on the beach with all the amenities to prepare your own meals if you want to. The only drawback for us, was there is only one place to get food (across the street) without having to drive somewhere. Check in was easy and host was very friendly and accommodating.

A return stay that reinforced our love for this spot. Right on beach with ocean view to the islands and Karikari peninsula. An excellent return to the 1960s? decor. Excellent bathroom . Beds comfortable. Good workable kitchen and laundry. Great contact with the owner and her Dogs. Would loved to have stayed longer.

Great stay, loved how close the property was to the beach. Parking was really easy being right next to it. The unit was comfortable and tidy. Could do with a few more pots, and the blinds cleaning in the main bedroom as there is mould on the inside. Overall great stay, would come back again

What a lovely place. Right on the most gorgeous beach. Unfortunately we were there in a storm but were cosy, cosy, cosy inside the beautifully appointed and decorated unit. Was such a gorgeous property - would have loved to have stayed longer. Very handy having kitchen facilities. So stylishly decorated.
