Booked as a spur of the moment getaway everything was confirmed immediately with excellent instructions and communication.
The house is in a fantastic location, just a few steps and you are on the beach. There's a lovely sea view from the front deck and at night you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

The little house didnt actually feel all that small - similar to a resort chalet.
It is very comfortable and we really appreciated the artwork and artifacts in the decor and the beautiful mosaic in the courtyard was quite lovely.
Lack of "proper" kitchen is not really a problem. Whilst you can cook if you really want to, we didn't. There are plenty of options in Tairua and surrounds. A 2min walk around the corner to 2 cafes, and from midday onwards there's the Tairua Beach Club (highly recommended and it gets busy so do make a reservation in high season), serving good food and excellent local wine, beer and cocktails.
Thank You, Rachel & Peter, we really enjoyed our stay!
