We had a wonderful stay at Diane's place. The accommodation is as lovely as the pictures and we absolutely loved the location right by the beach and lagoon. There are wonderful walks right there and the local store is an absolute delight. Diane is a welcoming and discreet host and has great suggestions about places to visit. We loved watching the seals at Shag Point and the Matanaka Farm and Evansdale Cheese Factory well worth a visit. Diane has a beautiful garden and we enjoyed the new BBQ in the very pretty, private courtyard. We appreciated easy access to a washing machine and dryer, the condiments in the kitchen and home grown tomatoes! There was good heating in the bedroom and the bed and the shower great. We will not hesitate to return to Karitane and Diane's place.
