The neighbourhood is lovely and the area was one of our fave stops so far in the north island.

Nathalie was very communicative and made us welcome.

It's a good 4km walk to the main bars and restaurants along the coast (very flat, nice walk) but after a day of hiking we got a cab which was easy to call.

My friends had the bed and I was on the futon which I found very uncomfortable sadly but if for kids it would be fine.

Lovely pool.
