This property is right across the road from the beach. I made a coffee and just wandered across the quiet road to stand on the beach in the morning. You can hear the waves crashing all night.
It's amazing. It's about a 6 or 7 minute drive to Marine Parade and all the shopping. Supermarkets etc really close if you have a car. Ahuriri Estuary is an easy 5 min walk away and Ahuriri restaurants are 4/5 mins drive.
The property is fantastic value - we had three couples for two nights and were blown away by the price - especially being beachfront. The house is a little worn - the curtains on the ranch slider were falling off, cracks in the paintwork on the ceiling and a few of the light switches were a bit funky but nothing major. I only mention it at all because I know that really winds some people up. For the price you can definitely look past little things like that. We found the house clean, beds comfortable and the showers hot and strong! Would defo book again.
