Wonderful house with everything you need. The house was very clean on arrival, with a few treats and fresh flowers around the house. The view from the veranda is worth every penny. It was absolutely stunning to come back to after a day exploring or at the beach. It was lovely and private with beautiful gardens. Our kids loved being able to run around. About a 5 min walk down the hill to Pohara beach. If you like a good espresso coffee each day like we do, there is a great coffee cart just down the road “Takaka Infusion” who make good strong coffee.
