This is a gem of a place in a gorgeous part of the world. Super clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and a kitchen with everything you need, even cling wrap and baking paper! The garden area outside was lovely and being underneath the hosts’ house was no problem. Either they are quiet as mice or there’s great soundproofing! The couple of times we did see them they were very nice. The extra storey above actually helped keep the apartment cool on the hot days we were lucky enough to have. The house is just across the road from the beach (up a short driveway) and the beach there is a little tricky to access and is rocky. However about 100m down the beach it’s sandy and lovely, with good access. Great to swim in. Nearby 4 square store and a few places to eat out from fish and chips to posh. Rawene and Kohukohu nearby were highlights for us- historic towns with heaps of character. Highly recommend the accommodation and the area!
