We loved the quirky vibe, lots of interesting artwork about. Very comfortable beds and we'll equipped kitchen. Amazing view from the deck, if I lived there I would spend all summer on it. There is no rail on part of the deck though so I would be concerned about having small children on there. We had a large family group staying in Waikanae for the weekend and luckily the two one year olds and 3 year old were staying at another house. Grace was great to deal with, quick to respond. I notice other reviews mentioned the water pressure in the shower, it is a bit low but wasn't an issue at all. Lovely house, I would happily stay again
