Leona was a very friendly and helpful host. Her place was very clean and provided everything we needed. The location was excellent with a beautiful view of the beach. There was a cosy outside sitting area to enjoy the view. Leona went the extra mile, even giving us some of her delicious home made carrot cake. Her place is minutes from the beach and a short 10 minute drive into Orewa where one could enjoy cafes, shops and more beautiful beaches. I can happily recommend this place.
