We had a really great time at Lois place. The apartment is well equipped, the kitchen has everything you need to cook and even bake. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds are really comfortable. The beach is wonderful and Oakura is a nice little town 15 minutes by car to New Plymouth. Lois is a wonderful host, we got delicious self baked cookies for a welcome and she gave us great informations about the area. Communication was fast and easy. Thank you Lois - we loved it !
