Rachel's place in Opunake was beautiful and peaceful. From the deck you can turn one way and see the ocean and from the other you can see Mount Taranaki. It was a five minute walk to the grocery store, the beach, and a few eating options. The space had everything we needed to cook a few meals as well which was perfect because Opunake is a very small town and there only a few places to eat especially with a gluten free diet. We had a lovely time and would visit again.
