Jacqui's place is extremely well-positioned to walk around the whole area. Which is great, considering that Piha's roads get very dark at night, and pedestrian areas are not always available along the roads. The place has a fridge, a kettle and lot of space to park your stuff. The reading area is a very nice plus, and the bathroom is very clean. Jacqui is very hospitable and ready to offer info about Piha. She gave me a beach towel, and even helped me organizing the trip back to Auckland with a very kind friend of hers. The latter was great, given that there is no Uber or public transport in Piha that you can use to head back to Auckland. Definitively recommended. The dogs are a super friendly plus.
