Flew into Auckland from Wgtn (work), the day, we were due to check in. Drove late evening to Whangamata. Thankyou Angela for arranging light both in and out so we were not fumbling in the dark, overtired, etc :) Initial thought ..... OMG! ..... too much in such a small space. After making a few alterations as to where things were so could move around so it looked less busy. Place and the amount of stuff in the room was completely understandable. Accommodation is actually a well transformed garage. We all hear, 'Less is More' ...... well, we have been in many AIRBNB's and not all furniture is comfortable but you need to rate it, that you do have a chair to sit on, etc......... therefore, the bed & lounge single chairs were comfortable. There was a fan, heater, luggage holder, clothes airer, bbq, kitchen well equipped with utensils. Great fridge/freezer. Lots of instructions everywhere ........ just needed to put the very visible ones out of sight, once read. Lovely surprise to notice a sliding door to the miniature deck (semi sheltered from rain and sun with both glass and a sail) that we made great use of on our 2nd day. My husband (6ft 5) and I are big people, I particularly a tall fattie, but we were fine in the very compact bathroom. Once in the shower, there is sufficient room :) Bonus able to park our car right up outside the accommodation as it is a grass area and too far from roadside. It did get rather hot, but keep the blinds down in the kitchen area as the morning sun quickly filters in ..... if not already thought of, an aircon/heatpump unit may need to be installed ..... yes, we made do with the fan ...... remember what you were taught way back ? When hot, try and keep still as you do cool down a little ...... pleasantly greeted with coolness at night (yes, fan kept on all night). Oh and the headboard appears to be an extra mattress (not sure, did not pull it out) 20 min walk to the beautiful scenery at Whangamata Golf club
