The house is marvelous. We loved it and things were thoughtfully put together for the convenience of the guests. It is one of the few that has privacy from the public looking in from the road, yet with a great deck that faces the sea and the sand dunes. You can see the bright stars at night. The extra bonus and unexpected treasure is the garden, full of different types of fruits (some, I tasted for the first time), herbs and salad leaves. Such a fantastic treat. We would have been happy just to stay in the house. Nearby is a supermarket so you don't need to stock up much. Check out Smoki Hoki for some smoked seafood.We were lucky to meet up with Wendy and Tommy who showed us Mitimiti, taking us to the [nnual fishing event there where people were so friendly and generous.
