We had a great stay here. Shanne was super helpful and responded quickly. We didn’t use the upstairs room as we were only 3 but it would be a great space for a family. The outdoor bean bags on the deck were a favourite for us. The fully equipped kitchen with an extra bar fridge meant we could fully self cater. Not much variety at the general store but a short drive to Hahei has more variety as well as fresh produce, cafes, brewery and fuel. We found out during our stay that New World in Whitianga delivers by boat to Cooks Beach too. Kaizen restaurant was divine, and we loved the estuary on the Purangi end. We highly recommend the Cave Cruzer tour as well. Easy trip over on the ferry to the wharf where it departs. Great owner-operator full of knowledge and incredible sights. Lovely quiet house to escape the holiday hustle and bustle.
