It’s hard for the photos to do Phil and Joy’s place justice. It really is right across the street from what is a beautiful black sand beach perfect for surfing, bonfires, or just hanging out during the day; we even got spoiled with a beautiful rainbow when we woke up. Hawke’s bay is definitely a very expensive area which is why Phil and Joy’s place stood out to us because it was much more reasonably priced and definitely worth what we paid for. Whether you’re in the area to play golf or go to vineyards I’d definitely stay here.
