Susan and Stan were very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. They really are welcoming and committed hosts. The unit is attached to Susan and Stan's house, it's very carefully appointed, and feels like new. The kitchenette has all you need and they provide a continental breakfast which is above and beyond - with fresh eggs, homemade jam, milk etc. If you want a wonderful bathroom and a comfortable bed to slip into after a big day out, then this is your landing place. If you want to cosy up on the couch and be inside - no. Winding up to the top of a hill, this cul-de-sac is not completely built out, so you get views of the pasture out back, and if you want to see the ocean you can talk a 10 min walk down to the Beach. Waihi Beach has Take Aways, a Bakery, small Supermarket, Cafes and Restaurants if you don't want to go far to eat. I stayed 2 nights, Thank You Susan and Stan.
