Jacqui's place was great! Everything as described - clean and comfortable. It is an easy walk down to the beach. There are plenty of bush walks around, and of course the beach is lovely. Jacqui welcomed us and gave us some tips on where to explore. She is a weaver and we really enjoyed looking at some of her work in the house :).
There are not many places to eat in Piha, so make sure you take food or look up the opening hours in advance (we were mid-week and ended up driving back into auckland for dinner, whoops!).
We would definitely stay here again :)
