Claire was 100% awesome, as was the hut. She was super-helpful in getting me set up, and I had everything I needed. The hut is situated in the back yard, which as a lovely, very tropical-feeling vibe to it. The location is excellent, close to the beach and many, many hiking trails. Very peaceful at night - if you are looking for a quiet getaway this is it. Make sure you bring along everything you need, since there aren't really many stores in Piha. The health food store has some stuff, and the Piha Cafe is good for eating, but if you need other stuff bring it.
