Great house steps down to Pukahina beach. We stayed there with our 2 little boys, they loved the beach toys and games at the house. The boys felt right at home and loved their bedrooms. We stopped at the playground down the road which was nice but the boys preferred hours of throwing their surfer dudes in the surf. There is plentyy of room in the master for morning yoga overlooking the sea. The house has stunning views up and down the beach with the elevated balcony and the sunsets over the estuary were an unexpected treat from the rear deck. The house could easily host a second family as we went without using a whole queen room with onsuite and second twin bed in one of the downstairs rooms. We'll definitely be back again next time we're in NZ!
