Jacqui's place is incredibly homey, cosy and comfy. The place is exactly is pictured in the listing. What isn't captured in the listing is that Jacqui is an absolutely lovely, friendly, kind and helpful host. She helped give us tips for places to eat and sights to see before we arrived, greeted us at the door (with Freddy, the gorgeous dog), and re-assured us that even though we had bad weather we could still do the walk we wanted to do (Kitekite falls). The reading nook at Jacqui's place is brilliant--my wife and I cosied up and did a crossword after going out for our walk. When my wife and I next visit Piha (hopefully with better weather), we'll be going back to stay at Jacqui's again--it was like being at home away from home.
