Rarely have we found an AirBnB that had literally everything we would want and leave us without a single question! All the instructions for arrival and use of the home were clear and labeled. Even coming from the northern hemisphere and with jet lag, nothing was an issue- just a perfect stay with a most amazing view (and fireplace!). Watching the tide go in and out with Mt. Paku in the background never got old. We used this beautiful home as a base for Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach, and Karangahake Gorge and to get over the time change. As amazing as those sites were, we were thrilled to wake up and come back to this house. Tairua is a cute little town with just enough of what you need, and David’s home did the rest. While it could easily hold more people, we found it perfect for just the two of us. We couldn’t have asked for a better home/view/host to be the start of our NZ holiday.
