Beach Abode was a lovely newly renovated house in Waikanae Beach. Clean and tidy. Not so impressive from the outside, but the inside is lovely. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the beach. Nice and warm with plenty of heating options. A great big fridge/freezer and appliances are all working including the electric fire which we all thought was pretty snazzy. My negatives would be that there was only six towels (5 people) for our three day trip with one small heated towel rail. Weather dependant on whether or not you get to wash your towels and hang them on the clothes horse outside. Maybe even some beach towels since it’s called ‘Beach Abode’ for the second towel set which most beachside air bnb’s seem to have. Also…we had four girls getting ready for a party and only one mirror in the bathroom 😂….there was one that could be brought out from a wardrobe, but we had to lean it against the furniture….a mirror in each bedroom would be helpful. Overall…a nice stay.
