Nicole is a great host, communicating quickly and clearly and super easy to deal with. The house is in a great location, right over the road from the beach and with open fields out the back. It's walking distance to everything in Waihi Beach. The house is a great, easy space to live in with loads of outdoor space, comfortable living and sleeping spaces and wifi, netflix etc available. We stayed with our three boys aged 16, 15 and 12 for nearly two weeks and we never got bored. Surfing, swimming, beach walking/running right on the doorstep... beautiful walking tracks close by... cafes and restaurants near and plenty of space to sit on the deck or in the garden to read. The wifi and netflix also kept everyone happy on days/evenings when we wanted a break from outside activities and board games!
