The view from this house was amazing! The check-in process was really easy. The entire house was clean. The kitchen was equipped with pots/pans, toaster, rice cooker, coffee plunger, etc and included some basic necessities. We also used the grill once to cook dinner. The clothes washer/dryer worked well too. The location was a bit out of the way from the city (about 15min from kerikeri and 35min from paihia). However, it was well worth the drive as the view was just breathtaking. If the weather was better, we would have sit on the wrap-around porch more often to enjoy the view.
