It's tough to nail down the appeal of Laura's home, but there's definitely something great about it. True to the listing, it's a classic bach style NZ home in an amazingly intense (in a good way) location. There's cool decor and little bits of nostalgia and history and NZ pride all over. Something that felt really special and local, particularly for foreigners. The place was clean, shower worked well and you can't beat a walk up the hill to the pancake rocks. Like anywhere on the West Coast of NZ's south island in the summer time, watch out for the sandflies!
