Julie’s place is definitely much better than the pictures show! The upstairs bedrooms are both very spacious as well as the bathroom. The view from the bedrooms is also unreal and we got to watch the sunrise from bed when our little one woke early. Julie and her husband were friendly when we saw them but they also gave us lots of space and we felt we had lots of privacy. The place has everything you need including extras in the kitchen like a grated, potato peeler etc. we loved the location as just over 10mins to Te Arai beach and 20mins to Mangawhai beach. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back 😊
