This was our first stay in NZ and Sandy was really flexible with our arrival time bc our flight was delayed for over 3 hours. When we arrived late at night, she was there to greet us and informed us about the low tide hours and was helpful to answer other late night questions we had. The place is spacious, clean, and newly refurbished on kitchen and bathroom. Food was provided to make toast or cereal. The walk to the beach was a few minutes away. Overall the place and the host are excellent.
