We stayed at Ray and Jo's place for several weeks and have felt completely comfortable and at home at Olde Beach Cottage. The house stays cozy and warm with the fireplace, heated bathroom floors, stylish rugs, and high quality linens. The house has plenty of room inside and out. The upstairs bedrooms have lovely views of Waikanae. We have enjoyed watching the beautiful Waikanae sunsets from the newly built front deck. The kitchen has plenty of modern amenities: new oven, microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster, ninja blender, and dishwasher. There is a brand new washing machine and dryer to use too. The house has unlimited internet and a big smart TV with integrated streaming services.
The location is amazing! The beach and playground are a very short walk away. Many mornings, we walk across the street for coffee, pies, or croissants from Olde Beach Bakery. In the afternoon, the kids like to play at the beach playground and get an ice cream from the four square. On several evenings, we have enjoyed the pizza and outside garden of Long Beach Cafe.
Lastly, Ray and Jo are dream hosts... very responsive and easy communication.
