The Sand pit was our favourite stay so far in NZ. Very spacious layout and bonus indoor hot tub (kitchen space is a little small). No A/C but the ocean breezes keep the interior comfortable. Just a short stroll to the beach. Be sure to check out the nearby lagoon. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to use the kayaks or bikes. We really regret not being able to stay her longer. This place is an excellent value and we would love to return.
