Great, kid friendly beach house with everything you need. The house is large, light and airy with two distinct living zones. Would work well for two families with kids (as long as you can handle sharing one bathroom). The kitchen is small but well equipped including plastic plates, cups and cutlery for the kids. There is a private deck out the back with a large table and umbrella, and a more open patio and deck out the front where kids can play or wet beach stuff can be dried. Other kid-friendly features include a cubby and swing out the back, a selection of toys and a teepee in the very large living area and a big-screen TV. Adult-friendly features include a separate dining/small living area inside - away from but close enough to the kids play area, or the back deck onto which the larger living room opens directly from where you could supervise without being right on top of kids. The configuration of bedrooms also allows for a kids area and an adult area if you are staying with just one family.
The location is also excellent with the back beaches less than 5mins drive away and the front beaches only about 10-15mins. Hot springs are super close, as is the St Andrews brewery and then a bit further afield are all the wineries, restaurants, etc that the MP is famous for.
Overall, a great place and good value for the space and location.
