A very clean, comfortable and well set-up home, with very friendly hosts who respected our privacy but were happy to help when we had any questions about the Waikanae area. The house is quiet and set back off the road, and our living area was separate from the rest of the house. It was very quiet and peaceful. The swimming pool is just across the road, and the house is only a few minutes' drive from the beach. There are also some nice walks in the area. We would happily stay there again, and highly recommend Helen's place to any future travellers.
