Dianne and Martins' place is great.
It is modern and set up as a purpose-built AirBnB, where you have a private, electronically locked entryway into a good-sized lounge/diner/kitchen area. The 2 bedrooms are of generous proportions with queen beds and good wardrobes.
The bathroom is large with a walk-in shower and even a standalone bath.
The facilities were nice and clean and well looked after.
Martin introduced himself and gave good advice as to where to eat, depending on your tastes.
We took his advice and went to Toret Cucina Italiana in Ōakura - a 15 minute drive out of town. Well worth the visit.
Martin also gave us some Snapper that he and his mates had caught that day! Thanks, Martin.
From the BnB, it is a short, easy walk to the beach, at the end of the road. As we were there on a Saturday, we managed to stop and have coffee and French pastries from the pop-up French cafe at the reserve beside the beach. Nice.
Overall, great location, great facilities, and great hosts.
