I recommend this place. Great place to stay, felt very tranquil and private. While others may be close, clever planting gave everyone privacy. Loved sitting outside on the loungers after a day at the beach. Very clean and the spade was appreciated, we loved sitting in the hot pools we had dug. House was hot at night in full summer and we moved the fan into the bedroom and that worked well so we could sleep (and wasnt noisey).
There is one cafe literally about 2 mins walk away and Haihei is only a 10 min drive away. If you want a great place for lunch check out The Hive in Purangi, fantastic food, great setting, good for kids with bean bags, grass and outdoor games.
