The Beach House is a very tidy and well-kept home on top of a sand dune, about 10 mins' easy walk to the beach. The views are expansive and attractive - over sand dunes to the sea, or over land to the Tararuas. It feels private and secluded, despite neighbours nearby, and is lovely and quiet. We especially appreciated the cleanliness of the house, the good-quality kitchenware, and the wonderful outdoor spa with views of the sea. Watching the sun sink into the sea from the comfort of the spa is a memory to treasure! We also enjoyed watching harriers, swallows, rabbits and even a couple of pheasants from the house, plus a variety of gulls and waders on the beach.
