David's made this a truly lovely place to stay. The rental is a separate building, with two bedrooms, plus a large living area/kitchen. It is currently brand new (we were the lucky first guests!). There are big folding doors that open onto spacious front deck facing a hillside forested with Kauri trees, a perfect place to sip morning coffee. The kitchen is very well laid out and well-equipped, the laundry functions well etc. Just a minute or two to the start of a bushwalk through the forest, and a few more minutes down the hill to the beach. The place has a quiet, forested feel, but it's just a short drive to downtown Orewa. We'll definitely look to see if the place is available next time we're visiting the area.
