Our trip on the North Island was unfortunately interrupted by Covid, but Sandra has been nothing short of amazing in her response to our situation. We could check in a day early and she was super helpful in dealing with our isolation. The studio is very peaceful and comfortable, with lots of natural light and linen, very close to the beach and to a restaurant (Flat White). We only did short walks so cannot comment very much on the neighbourhood, but we are very grateful for Sandra’s hospitality in challenging times, and would certainly go back for a proper visit to Waihi beach!
