Many thanks to Bronwyn. We loved our stay. It's great to see a classic NZ bach still intact. The view from the deck and instant access to the beach was just what we needed on our break from NYC. While we enjoyed the modesty of the furnishings we found that the brand new kitchen was a great addition and made it easier for us to prepare meals and socialize around meals. The BBQ and decking was perfect for early morning breakfasts and late night dinners and drinks. While the kids were initially disappointed about the lack of WiFi all the parents thought it was great. The beach was the perfect antidote. We look forward to returning on our next trip.
