The Motukiekie Beach Apt was a great place for our family to stay for a couple of nights—we could have happily stayed longer. The beds and bedrooms were comfortable, and the open central area, with big windows toward the ocean, was great for hanging out. The best feature, however, was the proximity to the incredible beach, perhaps the most interesting and beautiful beach I have seen in New Zealand. Kees was not around when we visited, but was a very good communicator, giving us excellent directions and instructions on the details of the house. We also enjoyed meeting the very friendly local dogs, and their very friendly owner. We hope to return to this great spot someday.
