Amy and Claire's place was perfect for our needs - It's a short drive to Waipu township and a shorter drive to a great beach. Claire was there to meet us when we checked in and was always available if needed, but really, I couldn't think what else you'd need. The beds were Goldilocks comfy - not too hard, not too soft; the shower was great; and they even left us bread and milk and cereals for breakfast to get us started in the morning. The setting is lovely, and it was great being sung to sleep by a chorus of frogs and woken up gently by the chirping of birds. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommended. BTW, also recommend the Waipu Golf Club Cafe just around the corner - my new favourite in Northland!
