If you love the surf and fairly wild beaches then this is a fantastic place to stay. We walked along the beach every day and loved the fact that we almost had it to ourselves. The Bach is pretty well equipped, the bed clean and comfortable and the shower great. Just be aware that you have to go up quite a few steps to it and there is some traffic noise, nothing too troublesome but this is a built up area and so you can’t expect to have total peace and quiet. It was a great place to spend our last two nights before leaving NZ.
