This place is incredible! Meters from a picturesque, calm and safe swimming beach with unobstructed sea views from every room in the house. Hihi is a really special place in Doubtless Bay, and this home is located at the end of a quiet road with absolutely no traffic noise. The Living area was stylish and comfortable, and we used the bbq on the balcony almost every night for sunset dinners. The beds were comfy and had sea views, and we woke to the gentle sounds of the waves every morning. Our children enjoyed the spacious downstairs area complete with pool table, and the freedom to explore the beach just 1 minute away. Highlights of the area includes lunch at the famous Monganui Fish shop, learning about the rich local history of the area, catching fish off the beach with minimal effort (and minimal skill!), and exploring the secret beaches and rock pools at the ends of the both. A great day trip is to the Puketi Forest to hike amongst the mighty kauri trees. Also highly recommend a visit to the KeriKeri farmers market on Saturday mornings for incredible local produce and lively local culture. Amanda was so friendly and easy to deal with. Highly recommended and we’d love to stay again!
