After a busy few days driving around the north island, this was the perfect place to sit still, admire the view and really relax. It's a quiet community on a near-deserted beach that is just magical when the sun shines.

The house itself is quirky yet perfectly positioned and has everything you need for a fun stay (books, boardgames, TV, wifi, well equipped kitchen, comfy bed, washing facilities etc, nice outdoor seating etc.). The jewel in the crown is the upstairs bedroom with its huge windows that overlook the beach, the sea and Kapiti Island in the mid distance. It's easy to wile away hours up there in quiet contemplation. Communication from our host was great and all instructions clear and easy. All in all a big thumbs up...another one we hope to return to one day.
