Lovely views of Whale Island from a generous new deck. You can hear the sea from your bean bags on the deck. It's an old cottage with the basics but a comfy bed and good entertainment system setup. No heating but we didnt need it in April. It was very clean and Paul's communication was excellent. We found it lacked a bit of privacy as Coastlands is a growing suburb and gradually surrounding this property. But it's still a nice place to stay and an easy drive from ohope and whakatane.
