We loved Nina's place in Whangamata. It was just perfect for the long weekend. The house is spacious and with a beautiful courtyard; it is excellent for just hanging out, reading a book or having a glass of wine. It is very central with almost no need to drive - five minutes to the beach and the same time to town for takeout. Nina was communicating very well and it was clear that we could ask for help if we needed to. Recommended!
