We stayed for 7 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very easy to entertain the children with a safe beach right there off the back of the property. I was fishing and the kids were swimming. We enjoyed the fire pit and BBQ outside. Visiting Mapua, Richmond and Nelson was very easy from this location, as was heading north to Kaiteriteri.
The house had everything we needed and we slept fantastic. We would definitely stay again.
