We had a great time at the Beachside house. It was a chilly day when we arrived and Colleen had the wood burning stove going when we arrived which made the house very warm and welcoming. Colleen communicated well and gave good directions. The house was incredibly clean, the location absolutely amazing, and the stay very comfortable. We will certainly stay at this house again if we have the opportunity to come through this part of New Zealand again. As a side note, the glow worm dell located about 2 km down the road is worth a visit after dark.
