Excellent communication prior & during my stay. Location perfect for beach walks, the store & listening to the waves throughout the day & night.
Very accommodating & understanding host; stay extended easily, problems dealt with openly. Simone the owner was very welcoming and although on the other side of the property, we each had our own privacy.
I can see why it would be booked out over summer, however my time there during winter was still enjoyable. I recommend it, especially if you like wrapping up & dressing warmly. Watching & hearing the natural elements while under cover, especially if you've been away from NZ for 4 years, is very grounding.
