We had a great stay at Louise and Steve's. This is a classic old-school 'kiwi bach' - with a great quirky style. Don't worry about bringing a book - there are several thousand here and something for everyone! Great location - just across from the beach and a quick walk to the cafe. Perfect bach to bring a dog - back section completely fenced off so made it so easy for us. And no better place for off-lead dog walks than North Piha. Upstairs is super warm - sunny, good heater and fireplace. The downstairs is concrete floors but warm enough with the good heater there. For future guests - bathroom is upstairs so you'd need those staying in the double room and bunk room downstairs to be comfortable with a little walk in the night. Would recommend.
