The location is stunning. Motukiekie Beach has to be NZ's best kept secret. The beach house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking up a storm. Better still, there are fresh herbs in the garden and a few pantry items. We even got to meet some of the locals - Rufus the schnauzer and Honey the Labrador. But its the location that is most amazing. I'm not sure where you'd have to go to match the uniqueness of this property. In hindsight, we should have booked two nights - my wife wishes we stayed a week.
