First off, the drive to Piha is not for the faint of heart. It’s quite curvy and narrow with some blind corners and fast drivers. That being said, the tiny house is exactly as pictured as are the views. Overall we had a very nice stay. We enjoyed the deck-at night the stars were amazing and during the day the views of the water and beach below were mesmerizing. The amenities including the bbq were nice touches. The close location to Piha was great. We booked the property for ourselves and another couple we were traveling with. While the tiny house is great for two, I can’t recommend it for more. The additional room is really not very comfortable, especially in the warm summer weather as when we were there. The somewhat unfinished ceiling also puts off an unpleasant tarpaper odor. Neither the tiny house or the extra room has screens on the windows or doors (which we found to be quite common) so especially if your visiting during the warmer months bring bug spray or the mosquitoes will eat you alive. The composting toilet was easy to use. The black sand beaches and waterfalls in the area are stunning and there are numerous paths to hike on.
