We loved staying there. NICK the owner was always prompt answering any queries, the place was so clean, beds and sofas comfy, there are so many living areas to sit in, one with the telly, another around a big table great for games, and also the singing table. Right on the beach, that was superb and we loved the sound of the sea. The house is at least as well-appointed as any home, even with a champagne stopper! Everything you need in the kitchen especially if cooking for a full house. It is a fantastic walking beach, the best we saw. I would love to have a set booking every year. The location is great as you are so close to Takaka for eating out and shopping, and not farfrom Collingwood. Less than 10 minutes to Mussel Inn.
