Nice beach home one house away from the beach. Beach is lovely and covered with small shells. Adequate parking, great outdoor seating areas. Main house has combined kitchen/dining/lounge area (couches seat 5, table seats 6), two comfortable bedrooms (king and queen beds), bathroom with shower. Sleep-out has 1 queen bedroom with bunk beds and a variety of sleeping options in the lounge area - sleeper sofa, twin bed, and futon couch - which are best for children or young adults. Bathroom with shower is in the bedroom. Located about 20 - 30 minutes from freeway access to Auckland or points south (depending on time of day). Best for stay-put vacation unless you don't mind a lot of driving to and fro like we did. Shopping is 10 - 15 minutes away in Waiuku which also has some good restaurants. Claudine was a great host and helpful in providing information.
