Damien and Jo are good hosts, we had a wonderful experience at their beach house which could not be better located. It sits right across from the ocean and views from the house are simply breathtaking. The drive from Auckland to Piha is long but worth every bit, the drive is scenic on the winding roads. The house has plenty of room to sleep even though for the family of five we just used the main floor. It can easily sleep 9 people. However, if you are looking for a modern up to date place to stay, this beach house is not for you. But if you want to relax and enjoy New Zealand, go for it, we will definitely come and stay here again. There is no wifi so that is one thing we would like the hosts to add.
