Bruce's place is comfortable and well located opposite the beach at Omapere. The kitchen is pretty basic - there is a small oven, two hotplates, fridge/freezer, plates etc, and some cutlery. However, the kitchen is basic (the listing says breakfast is provided which was a box of muesli and UHT milk), and there is not a full set of cutlery. There was no coffee or tea that we could see, or shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. We were unfortunate that the first night of our stay the guests next door were quite noisy making a loud phone call at 6am that we could hear both the people talking on the line. The guest next door on the second night was much quieter but could hear a phone conversation through the walls - if you are a light sleeper and not taking both rooms, ear plugs might be helpful. There is a basic shop over the road at the petrol station and a takeaway restaurant but if you want to prepare your own meal you will need to bring your own food including basics - there is salt and pepper in the pantry cupboard but there was no oil, butter, sauces etc. The carpet was new and the seating in the living room very comfortable and the bed was good and the unit warm throughout. Bruce's home is on the main drag through the town so there was some noise from traffic at times but not excessive as it is a pretty small town. The walk up to the scenic lookout was nice with great views of Hokianga Harbour. The hot tub was a nice addition and very clean although it is in a bit of an odd position in front of the other bedroom and at the top of the drive so not a lot of privacy.
