This is a lovely gem very close to one of NZs most beautiful surfing spots and the vibrant east coast. The little cottage is at the end of a quiet road in a safe neighbourhood two minutes walk from the beach and ten minutes drive from town. It's been lovely renovated from scratch so you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, a spotless clean bathroom and a spacious bedroom with a TV on the wall and pretty good WiFi. The decks in front and on the side invite you to take your breakfast or afternoon tea outside as the sun is there all day. And you can even have a nice BBQ in the well-tended garden. Your host Clive is a charming Kiwi giving you local tips and will make your stay most enjoyable. Checking in and out is easy, communication very smooth and fun. I loved every minute in this home away from home and would stay again in a heartbeat.
