Josie's place is perfect for a weekend away. It is quite an experience as it is 100 year old batch, but it has most amenities and it is fully equipped for you to have a pleasant stay. We traveled with our toddler and the living room was good enough for him to spend time, or he would run outside and enjoy the outdoors. The beach is literally 1min away so that was really convenient and more fun than staying in a closer town. We actually stayed there because we wanted to visit the Kai Iwi lakes, which are 30 minutes away, and we are very happy with our decision. We would definitely recommend it.
