Marilyn was a great host, communicative and flexible. We appreciated being able to checkout later too.
The bach was sparkling clean on arrival and we loved the location in the Paekākāriki township, with cafes and places to eat on your doorstep, a small green grocer next door and the beach just down the road.
The nearby Railway museum is a little gem, we were lucky to time the weekend with the steam trains and a music performance at the local hall two doors down.
Being on the main street, it was bustly throughout the day with cyclists, passersby and street conversations but that was part of the charm of it being in the center of the town with the friendly locals and it was very quiet in the evening.
