Kees place is absolutely stunning! We, like other guests, would have loved to have stayed longer. The weather was not cooperating with us so much, and this place was the absolute perfect rental given the circumstances. It has a cozy wood burning stove and additional heaters in the bedrooms, which we found useful and lovely given the cold weather. It had a well-equipped kitchen, as well as some basic staples such as milk, butter, coffee, tea, oil, etc. They also had a french press for us to use (although don't underestimate the instant coffee in NZ like we did!). We were able to do some laundry, which was helpful, and they even had a dryer, which we did not have at any other of our rentals during our several week run. This was extremely helpful as we wanted to walk along the beach in the rain but did not want to take wet clothes with us during our traveling. The bed was extremely comfortable. The apartment was beautifully decorated and very spacious Kees and Lia left notebooks with lots of helpful information as well as book chapters with information about the surrounding area. There were lots of attention to detail and extra touches. Parking included a private driveway. Beach access was extremely close. There are not a lot of businesses in the immediate area, but we were set since we traveled with a few essential groceries and beverages. The seclusion is part of the charm anyway! There is a waterfall running next to the house with a small bridge and dense, lush greenery. The garden is amazing, and the view behind the house includes a jutting green cliff with an elevated waterfall. Stunning. Lastly, Kees was extremely communicative and available, and he was also very flexible and generous with us when the weather caused some cancellations and restructuring of our plans. We could not have been more grateful. Thank you so much for our lovely stay!
