Sue was warm and welcoming from the start; the place was exactly as listed and made even better by its close proximity to the beach. It was perfect for two and had everything we needed, including thoughtful touches like breakfast foods and spades for Hot Water Beach. Sue was also very forthcoming in providing us access to the bikes and the kayak, both of which we made use of. Throughout our stay Sue was cordial and communicative when we needed it, but we still felt like we were getting an escape. Lovely property, fantastic host, beautiful neighborhood and a wonderful part of NZ to visit.

Also shout out to Go Vino for an awesome dinner out - I'll be dreaming about the cheese bread for months to come.
