Daniel was a great host, very friendly and communicative, phoning after we arrived to check everything was ok and to give us any extra information we might need. We really enjoyed our two night stay at Woodpecker Bay, especially the wonderful ocean views (best loo view ever!) and the sounds of the waves pounding the rocks outside. Daniel has great taste and has transformed what is essentially a fairly basic dwelling into something special. Lots of interesting pieces chosen to decorate the bach and we loved the collection of original paintings of the NZ outdoors. Definitely best suited to a couple though, as there were three of us and while the sofa bed was fine (albeit it a little firm) for one person, it would be ultra cosy with two and it was also a bit of a nuisance to have to pack it up and put away the bedding each morning. A tip: bring an eye mask unless you want to be woke really early (in the summer months) as there are no window coverings on the west-facing windows. We really appreciated the dvd collection and the free wifi, as everywhere else seems to have a 50mb limit! Thanks Daniel :)
