Such a lovely house, surrounded by a few of my favourite things, hill, lush bush and dramatic views of the wild Piha beach just a hop skip and a jump away, magic. A fantastic winter retreat complete with the sound of roaring waves and a big toasty fire to relax in front of. Was great to have the whole house to ourselves, generous, relaxed spacious living, inside and out, so lots of places to lounge around. It was hard to leave!
