This place is an unusual small haven in a stunning setting. It is very special. Cooper's Beach is quite a small area/town. We discovered the town of Mangonui just 7-8 minutes away and it is delightful, a handful of good restaurants (esp. The Waterfront Cafe) and interesting shops. Yet the highlight of our time there was basking in the beauty of the home on the waterfront. The swimming is good, the trees are magnificent, there are a few birds that are regulars, Bruce's gardens are amazing. We adored this place and the incredible setting that surrounds it.
All the logistics are handled well, beds were comfortable, communication good, Bruce was responsive, neighbors were friendly. Would would love to come back.
