If you ever stay in North Island NZ... Hahei is an absolute must. BUT! more so... staying at Karen and Petes place will take your breath away. We have never felt more away from it all... yet still at home than being here. Words cannot describe what the view is like from your private deck. The studio apartment is fantastic. Clean. Modern and suitably equipped. Great BBQ and outdoor dining ready. We cannot rate this place highly enough. The hosts are just the best. I would sell this place forever. The location is perfect. Hot Water Beach is 10 mins drive away. Hahei Beach (absolute paradise) is 10 mins drive away. Kayaking and trips to cathedral cove are also at your fingertips. But just chilling at the beach here cannot be beaten. Thank you so much for having us.
