The beachside cottage, was the perfect quiet getaway from the maddening crowds. Comfy couch and bed, modern bathroom with a great shower. Airy cool, and light filled. Sounds of ocean at night was soothing. Beautiful surroundings, a viewing deck overlooking the coastline and mountain was lovely. A quick 2 minute stroll to the beach, explore the rock pools, caves and cliffs at low tide, or a daring swim in the wild Taranaki westcoast waves. Or just sitting on the grassy hill soaking up the ocean breeze and beautiful scenery . Thanks again Janine and Jim you are very friendly, kind and caring hosts. We would love to stay again one day.
