We spent a wonderful week here and were very sad to leave. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, and took an extra child's lifejacket with us so everyone could join in the kayaking fun. The house layout was great with room for all to spread out and relax, and we even had a few table tennis matches. The trampoline, BBQ and private lawn were great. We took day trips to Takaka, Farewell Spit, Te Waiporopupu Springs, Payne's Ford, Wainui Falls, Totaranui, and Awaroa, and still found plenty of time for swimming and relaxing.
