We absolutely loved our stay in Jan's place. Jan is a very warm, friendly and thoughtful host and checked in with us during our stay to ensure everything was ok, even offering to pick up things for us at the local shops when she drove in, if we needed anything.
The apartment is situated steps from beautiful Whangaumu Bay and has a wonderful view out along the beach and coastline. It is in a very quiet and peaceful area. The Tutukaka coast has some amazing scenery. It was lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping on the beach.
The apartment was very comfortable and well set up, with a fantastic kitchen if you choose to self cater. Our stay was in September and the nights were cool - great heating, electric blankets and dooners ensured that we were warm and cosy.
Jan really goes above and beyond to ensure everything her guests need are in the apartment. We really enjoyed her homemade biscuits, muesli and preserves. The closest restaurant, cafe and small general store for basic supplies is approximately six minutes drive away in Tutukaka.
We would have loved to stay longer and hope to return at some point for a longer stay. We would recommend this AIRBNB to others.
