This place is lovely. Quiet, beautiful and a short walk to a few restaurants and a convenience store. The ocean tides are dramatic, meaning you have to time your kayak excursion for the window of time allotted by high tide. But it is always beautiful and peaceful. The cottage itself is adorable, clean and welcoming. We were welcomed with a jar of local honey which was the tastiest honey I’ve ever had! Megan was always generous, polite and prompt in her communications and her husband Craig was equally kind and thoughtful in our face to face interactions. Be aware that due to construction and rush hour traffic it can take an hour or more to/from Aukland It was a great way to land in NZ and adjust to the jet lag. Overall, One of the best air bnb experiences I’ve had!
