This 5-level house has huge living room and kitchen on the second level, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the top 3 levels. It can accommodate a large family or three couples. It is obviously an overkill for two of us. But we felt that it was worth every penny.
The ocean view from the house is breathtaking! We had amazing sunset every day. The drawback is that you may like to stay in the house all the time and forget outdoor activities. But the good thing about it is that there is a best surfing beach in NZ just 3-minute drive away (with plenty of parking space).
The nearby Gannet Colony nearby was a great surprise to us. We also saw Tui birds in the backyard every day.
This is an old house, some corners were not cleaned spotless. Some details in the house need to be fixed. But David is a great host, he was responsive, addressed our issues very quickly. There are no ACs in the living area and master bedroom. It can get hot in the afternoon. But it cools down quickly at night.
