We (2 couples) visited Tairua for a family event, and only needed a place to stay for one night. Rachel's place is charming, and we could happily stay longer. It is at the end of a quiet street, located right on the water's edge - so the place is very peaceful and the outlook is lovely. It is an easy walk (less than 10 minutes) into the town centre for cafes, restaurants and shops. The facilities in the unit are excellent, with everything needed for a comfortable stay - all in good working order. The living area is very comfortable.
Rachel communicated promptly and gave easy to understand and thorough information.
All in all - a very good experience, and I would recommend this place.
