Gorgeous little cabin very close to the beach. Michael is an amazingly friendly and hospitable host who went out of his way to make us feel welcome and orient us to the local area - suggesting places to go, things to see, and where to find great local food! Highly recommend staying here if you want to relax and get away from it all. We enjoyed waking each morning to the sounds of birdlife, taking strolls along the beach, exploring the estuary, and taking short trips to surrounding towns including Mt Maunganui and Whakatane.

Have already recommended this place to family members, and would definitely come back again. Would be perfect for anyone who loves fishing as we saw someone pull in a decent sized snapper from the beach.
