Wow, we had a fantastic stay at Paula’s place in Hahei with our two kids.
The accommodation- was spotless, tastefully decorated, stylish and comfortable. The beds were really comfy, the kitchen was well equipped, the living area was spacious, the garden was beautiful and perfect for the kids to run around and play (and no prickles!). All in all it was lovely. The bach has a lovely feel with enough touches to feel like a home rather than a holiday house.
The locality - it was 5 mins walk to the incredible Hahei beach, then you can walk an hour or so to cathedral cove, or drive about 10-15 mins to hot water beach or the passenger ferry to whitianga (the nearest supermarket). Or a 45 min drive to whitianga.
There was a coffee shop, corner shop pub and restaurant in the village, plus a cool little library as well.
Amazing location for a holiday- so beautiful and so much to do.
The host - Paula was so helpful giving us tips on things to do and places the kids might enjoy, and even helped us to organise a babysitter so we could visit the Church bistro (well worth a visit).
Overall we had a brilliant time and the only thing missing was wifi - there is none in the village at all!!
