We had a brilliant time at Tesa and Guy's place. We came to Waipara for a week with our 2 little kids and this was the perfect spot. We had fantastic views out to the sea (the surf there was great too), and both the upper and lower decks make for some beautiful evenings outside. The fire pit and BBQ were great fun, and there were lots of fab beach-y touches that made the whole place very idyllic (there's an outdoor shower fashioned from a surfboard, and a lovely swing sofa on the lower deck fashioned from driftwood). The house was cosy, clean, and had a very modern feel. Our youngest is 10 months old, and it was very easy to babyproof the living area and deck. The Beach House Cafe is 5 minutes walk away and does awesome coffee. We'd love to come back, and would highly recommend to others!
