Great spot to explore the northern part of the west coast. House itself has everything you need to stay and and cook and our kids enjoyed the games and puzzles. When the weather was clear, the view along the coast was awesome, we did however have our fair share of wind and rain for our stay. Beach literally at the end of the garden path. Various walks and sights only a short drive away - Pancake Rocks and Paparoa Track, Fox River trail all worthwhile.
