The place was amazing, the house was warm and invinting, there is a walk way to the amazing beach. but you do need a car if want to travel to the other amazing places. oh yeah there is a oyster farm ( just google oyster farm whakatane) just around the corner and the fish & chips are to dye for. The morning sun hits the front deck, you can sit and have breakfast or just enjoy the warmth of the sun. i would definitly recommend lynns place to my whanau.
