Location is obviously the drawcard, and the chance to enjoy a rustic beach home reminiscent of childhood summers. For visitors from metro areas or overseas you are getting a local kiwi seaside experience, not a modernised designer interpretation.
Due to my covid 2 days before arriving I personally did not stay there but my brother + sister and their kids did. They enjoyed the location and overall ambience. As one of the last authentically original houses on this stretch of coast, it is worth the visit, however for younger families or those seeking some modern comforts you need to look elsewhere.
Camron was very responsive and excellent communication with him personally and my family who were there. We fed back on some maintenance and as long as you have expectations set then all is good, and I I understand from Camron there’s a new stove going in soon also. In our case we had (planned) for a larger family gathering so we were very happy.
