Hidden Paradise is hidden, and that is one of the desirable features. It is right on the beach, with only a vegetated berm between the unit and the crashing waves. At high tide, it sounded like the surf might wash through the bedroom. My wife loved it! The kitchen is amazing, with cooking utensils for an army. Internet was a bit slow, but plenty adequate. TV was basic NZ Freeview. The Jackson Bay area is stunning, with several nice walks and drives. We did most of them during our three-night stay. We would (likely will) return.
