Very lovely spacious place in a quite area. The place has everything you need and a great outdoor area. We stayed there for a month and would have stayed longer if possible. Doug is a great host!
Dairy shop in a walkable distance. I can recommend to have a walk to Kirks bush or drive to Elliot street and walk the Pahurehure Esplanade Path, it's lovely when tide is in.
Also, there is short drive to the Hingaia Esplanade path in Karaka, it's lovely as well. You can have a decent coffee or dessert after the walk at Urban Soul Cafe and Bistro.
