Off the beaten track, the cottage is well worth the few extra miles. Everything was in excellent order, and we felt completely at home. The offer of a couple of shovels to dig a hot pool on the beach was gratefully accepted, as were the garden plums. The cottage has commanding views over Kawhia on the one side and a valley on the other. The hosts were quick to respond to our request to book on the same day, which gave us peace of mind. All in all, very professionally done. We stayed in 5 different AirBnBs on our NZ trip and this was our favourite!
