We stayed in Annalise's and Gary's place for three weeks off-season, and it was absolutely marvellous. Their bach is in a good state and very cosy, there even were board games and toy cars for the kids. There is no WiFi, but you can reach the library with free WiFi by simply walking for 10 minutes, if you need it.
The neighbourhood and town are simply amazing, it must be one of the most family-friendly towns we have seen on our NZ trip. The green strips that extend to the town centre and to the beach made for worry-free walks with the little kids. They could play on the lawn or at the bridge across the little stream, visible from the front door.
The hosts are very nice people; and both next-door neighbours are very nice and friendly too. fyi one of them has a small dog who is however extremely calm and quiet so that our youngest was not scared at all :)
We would definitely stay there again and recommend it very highly. Thank you very much, Annalise, Gary & family!
