It's hard to know where to start. The location is in a very sweet town with everything right outside the door...cafe, store, coffee shop, pharmacy, grocery store...all with very friendly people. The beach is a short walk through the woods. Yet the apartment is very quiet and feels secluded. The space is roomy and nicely decorated. One of the hosts is sn outstanding artist and there are amazing, original paintings on the walls. And then, there is a large, private, gorgeous garden. And finally, there are Kate and Paul, warm, helpful, and interesting. Absolutely one of our favorite airbnb experiences. We will miss Oakua and its people.
