We had such a great time at Debbie and Gary’s place! It was perfect for what we needed. The beach is really just a 10 min walk down a long gravel driveway then on Taupo Bay Road. We didn’t bring any shade/umbrella or beach gear, but we were able to borrow a sunshade from their daughter, which was super helpful as we were traveling with an infant. Next time we come will will be more prepared! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. It was handy to have the two bathrooms, one is located behind the bar and the other just outside the slider behind the kitchen. The property is beautiful and we really felt like we were on holiday. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Debbie and Gary!!
