We had a great 5 nights here. We had just arrived in New Zealand and needed a place to wind down and get our bearings and this did the job. The presence of Maori culture was a real bonus. You can easily access lots of places on the East Cape. The laid back atmosphere was a treat and the sea being so close added to a relaxed time. House was fine, great to cook in, comfortable. No hesitation in recommending. Tom and Diana.
