This spot is beyond amazing. The house is right on the water in the harbour. It is a muddy-sand that is super shallow (waist deep on my 10 year old) so was absolutely perfect for our young kids. Nik has kayaks there to use which was incredible and so much fun for our older kids. We also brought our dinghy and had some fun on that. The kids also LOVED being able to go out exploring and playing in mud/sand at low tide. Ohiwa beach is right behind the house, accross the road and over the little hill (5 minute walk).
The house is older and one of the beds was pretty hard, but a mattress topper would make a big difference, so bring one if you like soft beds.
The kitchen had everything you need and there was a near new BBQ which my husband said was amazing. Our kids also loved the swing at the house and the nice big yard to play in.
It was so nice to have a good toilet and indoor AND outdoor shower (with hot water!) as well.
We seriously debated on skipping one more day of work to stay one more night haha.
Communication with Nik was great and the cancelation policy was perfect because we ended up wanting to change weekends last minute and it was no problem.
All in all, we had an awesome stay and was great value for money! Thank you!
