Really nice and remote little place tucked away in the bush on top of a hill. Absolutely stunning view! 2min driving distance to the beach below. 30 min drive to Mangonui, where you will find a few restaurants and shops. The hill was quite steep to get up to the house, so watch out if you have a small car, but our Suzuki Swift managed fine :)
The spa was huge, and nice to end the day with, after an adventurous day out.
The hosts were really lovely and helpful, even had no problem posting my shoes back to Auckland after forgetting them there! They live upstairs, so it was easy to contact them if we needed anything. The first night was a bit noisy hearing the footsteps upstairs, mostly from their beautiful (but gigantic) dogs walking around, but the other nights weren't too bad.
Overall a great stay and will consider going back!
