This house suited our family gathering perfectly. The large well appointed kitchen and scullery were perfect for self catering, the decks at each side and grass area surrounded by trees ideal for outdoor eating and exploring for the children. We appreciated the extra touches - books and games, and body boards for the beach. Although it is quite a height above the beach the walk down the walkway was shaded and very pleasant. Their were Kereru and kaka in the trees as well as numerous other birds in the evenings. Communication with the owner was timely and easy at all times. This house well met our expectations and we would recommend it whole heartedly.
