Contact with the owners was friendly and quickly. The local manager Dianne was kind and very helpful too. We loved the beautiful beaches and we met some lovely people in the twin cottage. The porch is pretty as well and having some bbq was fun.

We were a little disappointed to not find some coffee or spices in the kitchen. The place itself lacked comfyness, because of the spare but bright lighting (crystal white energy saving bulbs). The spare furnishing is just functional. The beds were a bummer - outdated and smelly.

We booked this place because of the canoes. Too bad there was no life vest for kids as it is required for canoeing.

The extra 30 NZ$ for cleaning were unexpected and should totally be listed. But we payed it anyways, because we had to leave in a hurry.
