Claude's house was perfect for us. We stayed for a month, and found it comfortable, roomy and really well equipped. We had some bad weather, and were really glad we were in such a nice, livable house. The light rooms, attractive furnishings, and great view made being stuck in the house while it rained feel OK! Also, the house was cosy - warm while it was cold outside, and airy when it was hot. The deck with a view of the harbour and sand dunes gave us a lot of pleasure. The location was perfect - beach across the road, and a short drive to lovely walks, more beaches,the 4 Square and coffee! What a truly lovely area, with great history and amazing natural environment - from the harbour, dunes, and sea to the forest and ancient kauris, we had a great time in the Hokianga!
Claude was a lovely host - welcoming, responsive and helpful, flexible, and friendly. We hope to return in the future! Thanks, Claude!
