It was our first visit to New Zealand and we spent 2 weeks in Orewa in Olwyn’s stylish home. It’s immaculately clean and tidy, quiet and very well located and walking distance to the beach and the many restaurants and coffee shops in Orewa. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen well equipped. We were able to travel quite a bit using Olwyn’s home as a base and it really was our home away from home. Olwyn is a super friendly host and gave us all the privacy we required. She was very helpful with advice and tips. We had a most unforgettable stay and highly recommend it.
