This place is awesome. The furnishings are comfortable but to be honest the views are so good we barely noticed the interiors! Keep in mind the house is west-facing and floor to ceiling glass on that side, so some judicious management of windows and blinds (and fans) is required in summer to keep upstairs cool and habitable. There are pedestal fans in the bedrooms - using these with water/ice as makeshift evaporative coolers was very effective on the hottest days, but otherwise simply managing the shutters and blinds was enough. Beds super comfortable, lots of lounging space. Kitchen very well-equipped.
Beautiful Takirau Bay is 5 minutes down the path (literally next to the house) and is a beautiful swimming spot. The views from the house are majestic - Auckland in the far distance. Location - Onetangi and Oneroa 10 minutes away, Countdown and Ostend shops 5 minutes drive.
We loved our stay and would happily come back! Communication was excellent.
