Overall we had an enjoyable stay in this comfortable house. There are lovely ocean view from the deck and kitchen, view of the ocean from the deck and kitchen, ample room if staying as a large group, and the place is well equipped. Julie thoughtfully provided some fresh fruit and chocolates, and our little one enjoyed the children's books. Beds were comfortable. Julie was very responsive and able to help us promptly during our stay. Bicheno is a lovely area to stay in, and the foreshore walk was great. Unfortunately for us we had a few rainy and windy days, and the house does get a bit cold. There was plenty of blankets, and heaters for the bedrooms, so it was not a major problem.
