Sandy's place is in a wonderful location, just a couple of hundred metres from the beach. The area is absolutely lovely, and the apartment spacious, though there were only the two of us, with good kitchen facilities. The couple of places to eat nearby close late afternoon, so we drove into Hahei the first evening and ate at the Pour House brewery, which was very good. The second night we ate fish and chips from the Top 10 site just down the road, which is open between 5.30 and 8pm each day. Also good. Sandy thoughtfully provides buckets, spades and towels for the beach and even tame chickens and baby thrushes to keep you entertained!
