beautiful beach and the bed was comfy , very nice host, felt quite welcome. there was a lot of property maintenance going on at the time so probably not as peaceful or private as it would be once the grounds are finished. would suggest taking beach booties as it is on the sand dunes it is quite hard to keep feet clean and bringing sand and dirt into the cabin. the beach is unreal and access is right outside the driveway. nice little towns in the area to check out. unfrtunately otaki pies was closed but it looks like a must to try! lots of beach gear at the bnb to keep you amused, kayaks and boogie boards etc
