Hello Airbnb! Two Tides is two thumbs up. The home it's self is stylish and artsy, yet comfortable and not pretentious. You will find everything you need and more (including a water carbonator) at your disposal in the kitchen. You are a 1 minute walk to one of the most magical beaches I've been to in NZ. Beautiful rocks (crystals) on the sand, mystical mist wafting down the beach... Even in the rain and wind we loved it. It's a quick drive to the fun Mussel Inn restaurant and 15 minutes to Takaka where you'll find delicious food and 20 minutes to Rawhiti Cave, which is a must. If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and spend time with the sea, this is the perfect space. We loved that there were plenty of books as well as Scrabble and a guitar. Our daughter particular loved the Roald Dahl Anthology. Simon is very responsive and helpful. We didn't meet him, but I know that if I did need something, he would have been available. Thanks for a great time Simon. Looking forward to staying again in the summer.
