We booked Denise's little hideaway for 10 days while we awaited access to our house. This is a real gem of a property, set back from the main road so very little in the way of noise - the wonderful Tui song was really all we heard. It is a very comfortable house with a great deck and barbeque and a simple walk into town. Basically everything as described and then more.
Denise is a wonderful host, very accommodating and helpful and just lovely to talk with. We look forward to seeing more of her as we become locals ourselves.
