Duncan's place is perfectly located just steps from Hahei beach. It is also about 10 minutes from Hot Water Beach which is really nice during low tide. There is also a trail to Cathedral Cove from the beach that takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes each way. In the evening time the options for food close by are less so plan accordingly. We had two little ones so stopping at a restaurant at night while they are still jet-lagging was difficult. I highly recommend this place and will stay again during future visits to Hahei.
