A great stay thanks! The view of the hills is wonderful and it was great to watch the sunsets. We loved the outdoor shower (with hot water plumbed in!). The air con/heat pump was handy. And the deck is a lovely spot to enjoy the view and the breeze with the birdsong around. Although this is a basic bach, it's fairly spacious for a 2-bedroom house and we enjoyed our stay.
Unfortunately the house wasn't clean when we arrived. Also a heads up that the second bedroom has one king single bed and one fold-out sofa bed (with a rather thin mattress, maybe a double size?) rather than the two single beds that were described in the listing. There were a couple of things missing from the kitchen such as a sharp knife but otherwise mostly had everything we needed.
We enjoyed a very relaxing stay with lots of beach swims. There's a beautiful beach just a short walk away (including down a long set of steps!) - there's an access-way between 131 and 127 Howard Rd. And we thoroughly recommend the beautiful Tāpapakanga Regional Park which is a short drive away.
