Ariel was a fantastic host and communicated with us well. The facilities were clean and tidy, and were just as described. There was tea/coffee/milk on arrival, fresh towels and a dreamy heated towel rack. Clothes washing facilities were also available. The bed was comfortable and had a great view of an idyllic cow meadow. The unit is a short walk to the Silverdale shops, and a short drive to Orewa Beach. We would definitely come to stay again next time we're in the area!
