The house is situated about 50 m from a nice beach where you can occasionally see dolphins / whales. There are 4 bedrooms, two of which face the garden and beach. There is a large bathroom and toilet, which is well-stocked with personal care products. The kitchen is large and has a good selection of modern stainless steel appliances.
The owner's parents stay on-site and are very helpful and pleasant. They stay in a separate cottage, and there is a lot of privacy otherwise. We chose this house to stay in because of its central location in the Northlands, and it was very convenient for travel to Cape Reinga, the 90 mile beach, and the Bay of Islands. I would strongly recommend this place for families with children who intend to travel the Northlands, and yet have a comfortable place to return to.
