We had a wonderful stay with Jan. She has a lovely warm, modern house with a beautiful view (and as others have said, a very comfortable bed). We especially enjoyed the thoughtful touches such as toiletries, the yummy breakfast and Jan was very flexible with our check-in and check-out, which we appreciated. This is great spot to stay either for doing nothing much in particular or for the more active, you can walk part of the Te Araroa Trail and/or bike or walk along the beach and through the Queen Elizabeth Park. Would highly recommend. The village shops/cafes are a 3 minute walk away.
