Lesley has a lovely place.
It is a very short walk to the beach with either a short stroll north to the base of a magnificent cliff/ bluff.
Walk south along the beach and you will quickly find yourself in the centre of Orewa with your pick of 2 supermarkets and a host of great restaurants and coffee shops. An Uber back with the shopping set us back $7.
The cooking facilities inside are great if that is what you like. We were pleased to find some basics so we could just kick out heels up after our flight in.
The only surprise here is that the unit is better than the reviews and photos portray.
