What a gem! We arrived and departed in beautiful sunshine but despite the middle of our 4 day 5 night stay being filled with some rather untypical New Zealand summer weather we felt right at home. The property itself was extremely comfy, clean and well equipped and the addition of a sheltered deck meant that despite the weather we were able to enjoy a glass of wine outside in the evening. The close proximity to the beach meant that we were able to get togged up and dash across the road for a quick dip and then return to the property for a nice hot shower, the added bonus of the hose in the garden meant we could rinse off and not traipse sand through the property. We were able to easily borrow two bikes from Garrat’s parents next door which meant we could explore the area with ease. Due to the weather we didn’t make use of the boogie boards that were also available but next time we return we give them a whirl. The property had everything we needed which made our stay perfect. Cheers
