What a lovely home with amazing views of Doubtless Bay. The changing moods of the ocean and the land in the distance were mesmerising at times. The house has everything you need. Clean and inviting. Full kitchen which is awesome for those of us who like to cook. Everything one needs - including nice touches like the barbecue. Comfortable bed and comfy lounge. So close to a lovely fully-stocked Four Square supermarket. The adjacent butcher has lovely meat - including biltong!!! The Beach Box coffee kiosk does great coffee. And lovely restaurants in nearby Mangonui. We had lovely meals at Mangonui Fish Shop, Little Kitchen and Waterfront Cafe. And the walks on Coopers Beach and the nearby scenic reserve and up to the Pa site are so accessible and pleasant - and the beach is a lovely easy walk too. Bonus was a drive to the Karikari Peninsula. Also used the Dune Rider company tour to Cape Reinga. They are based in Kaitaia but picked us up at the Four Square and dropped us at home. http://www.capereingatours.co.nz/cape-reinga-tours/
Overall a wonderful place to stay with caring thoughtful hosts :-)
