Vladimir and Marina are both lovely hosts who communicated quickly and politely with us. Their stay is close to bush tracks and waterfalls, as well as Karekare and Piha beach, all of which are a must see for any tourist.
We left the hosts with a few suggestions to increase the comfort of future visitors. These included providing hand soap in the bathroom, dish-washing liquid and garbage bags in the kitchen, and replacing the lounge (which isn't very new and currently just faces the kitchen) with a table to help with cooking (as there is little bench space).
The accommodation itself is definitely reasonably priced with beautiful nature not too far away. The hosts have a lovely family who try very hard to make their visitors feel welcome and safe.
