Kirsty and Aaron's house is beautifully presented, and comes with a gorgeous and trusting dog, Sammy who let us walk her along the beach-front 2 minutes from the house.
The bed was super cosy and I had a great shower. We had a lovely breakfast of cereal with local Kiwi-fruit yum.
It is a very short drive to the centre of town. But if you just want takeaways, pub food and a drink, or something from the supermarket it is also 2 minutes walk.
