I loved this location - it's incredible to wake up and look out at the sea every morning. I even managed to swim a few times which was really nice. The house is very well equipped so you have everything you need. Paekakariki is very quiet and small, with a few cafes, one restaurant and a grocer and fruit store. But since I was looking for quiet, it was the perfect location. I only met Josie and Grant briefly but they were very nice and were very quick with responses when I had questions.
