The place was lovely and clean with everything you would need to make a few meals, but there are several great restaurants close if you are feeling lazy like we were too. Diana have us great recommendations on local places to dine and places that we should definitely visit on our trip. Diana and her family were excellent hosts and really went above and beyond. The property is in the perfect location to visit all of the local beaches within a few minutes drive. Definitely check out Hot Water Beach at low tide! The self dug ocean front hot tub while the sun set was the highlight of the trip to this area of New Zealand for us. Very relaxing!
