What a great place ... right in the middle of Parapaumu and so handy to so much, but the biggest surprise and comfort was the sense of being away from suburbia ... we live in the country ourselves so it was nice to feel a similar sense as we do at ours (the sense of not having neighbors right on your doorstep, and hearing birdsong as we do at home) ... it really was a home away from home.
It was truly the best experience we could hope for on our first time of using the AirBnB site.
We will definitely be recommending to family and friends and have no hesitation in giving a 5 star rating for our stay.
