Best thing is the view which is absolutely amazing, in this secluded and very peaceful property with a private (albeit a little steep to get to) beach, yet only 5 min drive to nearest little town Orewa with lots of shops and restaurants etc.
To be aware of is that WiFi is - for whatever reason - on the weak side, so perhaps not suitable for work or streaming film, and the cottage is a rustic experience with one outdoor BBQ-kitchen (plus a pentry in the bedroom and a separate indoor kitchen in another building), the odd cobwebs, Daddy Longlegs spiders and near outdoor bathroom (albeit clean and working fine).
Generally however, this place is a gem to be recommended for those wanting simple relaxation, looking at a most stunning view of the sea with a glass of wine and a book, and sleeping to the sound of the tide coming and going.
