Although on a busy street, it’s in a very convenient part of town, with supermarket around the corner and near the estuary and marina (Rudis pop up bake shop there is amazing!). We were travelling with young kids and the place was family friendly with not much clutter, plus there is a great playground just down the street at beach road reserve. The place was well stocked and had everything you’d need for cooking with, as well as Netflix for the rainy evenings. The main negative was the presence of black mould (probably worse than normal during this wet summer), so if you have allergies to it you may want to check whether it has been remediated first. Jeff was great to communicate with, friendly and quick to respond to any questions. We enjoyed exploring whangamata - lots to do there as well as day trips to whiritoa and wentworth falls.
