Our family with two young boys (3 and 7) rented this lovely bach for a week in January. What a delight to be close to the shops and close to the beach without being in the wind or on a main road. The garden is lovely and there is a wonderful outdoor seating area, and outdoor shower. We used the spades at hot water beach! Thank you. The beds are comfortable. The house had all we needed. Paula and Peter are very good hosts who answered our questions quickly. It is well situated to visit Hahei beach, cathedral cove, the macadamia nut farm, Cooks beach, Lonely bay, Shakespeare Cliff, Mercury Bay vineyard and other points. We at at the Pour House, which had great food and also had take out at the fish and chips shop. the town store has a fine selection of things you might need. there is also a nice kids park near the cafe.
