Great location, second house from the beach, quiet streets good for biking with kids. The house was super-well equipped with absolutely everything you could want, from cutlery, pots & pans, to games and books. The hanging chair was in hot demand and the day bed was just pure bliss!
The house is split between the main house with two double bedrooms and a sleepout just down from the deck with a double bed and bunk bed (and also pull out sofa and extra mattresses). Good configuration for two families or three couples or combination of these. There are no shops in the vicinity, so bring enough food to last your stay, otherwise you'll be driving to Waiuku (20 minute drive).
Appreciated the use of kayaks, it was a beautiful later afternoon paddle on calm waters at high tide, even the kids had a go at paddling!
Make sure to plan a road trip down to Karioitahi Beach and also to Manukau Heads to see the lighthouse, beautiful, rugged scenery and a view of Auckland in the distance.
Loved every minute, very relaxing stay.
