Fabulous spot and gorgeous place that I booked for the views and was not disappointed. Carol lives downstairs but we only saw her with our friendly greeting on arrival. The walk from the house up to the pa was a wonderful way to get our bearings and using some steps down from the road we could swim in the Bay at high tide. From quiet Mill Bay it was 5min drive or 15min walk to fish shop and the rest of Mangonui. Just perfect ! Smallish table outside if you had a big group but there are other cane chairs that can go outside. Everything we needed and more in the kitchen that faces out to the view over the gorgeous wooden curved bench.
