This place is beautiful. The pictures on the here do not do justice to how spectacular the setting is... The apartment itself is perfect as well. A very functional layout for a one bedroom apartment- if I ever get motivated to build a rental on my property I am going to use this exact layout. Everything in the place is exactly as you would hope- completely functional kitchen (though we primarily at out) and very nice large bathroom. It is a downstairs apartment, but feels completely separate from their house. You have your own parking area and a beautiful deck that leads to the apartment.

Garry and Juliet are very nice people and Garry is a builder, which I think accounts for why the place is so nice. The location was great for a dive trip to the Poor Knights Islands, which were also amazing. This part of the coast is some of the most beautiful we have seen on the North Island and I wish we would have had more than two days here. There are numerous beaches around that are amazing and it was unfortunate that we only were able to see a couple of them. Even had a good day of surfing at Sandy Bay which was only about 15 minutes away.
