Margaret’s place is a HUGE, beautiful family home with amazing sweeping views of Waikawa Bay and the mountains. It is well equipped with basic kitchen essentials (although no oil or salt/pepper that we could find) as well as necessities for our baby (cot, high chair and baby bath). However the biggest drawcard for me was the hot spa on the balcony overlooking the bay and this by itself was worth every cent. It was such a wonderful treat after a day of exploring beautiful New Zealand. For meals you can choose from eating outside on the deck, or enjoy the views from the warm cosy sunroom with windows to the ceiling. There is also another dining room on the other side of the house, plus a sunken lounge - 2 whole rooms we didn’t even need. Would highly recommend Margaret’s place for both families or couples wanting a romantic getaway!
