Had a great time with the family (2 adults, 3 kids). The place was clean, well supplied with everything we needed in the kitchen. It was good to have the smart tv for when the weather was less than perfect.
The beach was dramatic and picturesque to explore, and we also went up the road to Opunake for a swim on a beach with lifeguards.
Hawera nearby had good supermarkets & casual entry gym. A bit of a drive was well worth it for a couple of walks on Mt Taranaki, and to New Plymouth for the summer light show.
One of the bedrooms is a bit of a thoroughfare, so some negotiation was needed to divvy up the rooms between kids (it’s possible to avoid going through the room by going from one external door to another).
The outdoor barbecue and fire pit were a hit with the family, especially roasting marshmallows with the kids.
A lovely stay, with a helpful and responsive host, thanks!
