House was right over the road from Omapere beach which is a stunning west coast beach. Location was perfect. 15 mins walk to Opononi where there is a cafe, pub and shop. 10 mins the other way to wharf and lovely coffee and gas station. Great swimming even if I did have to share it with a resident stingray! No orcas this time unfortunately. Bach needs a bit of maintenance, but I understand that is in the pipeline, other than that, very comfortable. Bed is VERY comfortable! Great place. Felt at home. Great to be able to take our dog. She loved the swims. Thanks
