This big beautiful home is much more than a batch. It is strong, sturdy, beautiful and has some serious heritage. And it's situated right next to Pōhue Creek and Tīkapa Moana. You have fresh and salt water right at your doorstep.
There is a tree swing and a trampoline, loads of room for parking cars, campers or boats.
The property has gas heating and great water pressure. The shower is large and there is even a claw foot bath and separate toilet.
The kitchen is really well appointed with everything you need. We were cooking Christmas dinner and found ample bowls, serving dishes, pots and pans etc. In the shed there is an extra fridge freeze which was excellent for storing Christmas treats. There's a dishwasher and loads of dishwasher powder as well as everything else you might need to keep the place clean. The kitchen chopping knife set is really sharp so we kept the sheaths on them.
There is a coffee machine which was a real treat (coffee lover) especially as the Waiōumu Beach Cafe was closed over much of the Christmas period.
The house has lovely wooden floors (except for lounge which looks to be recently recarpeted) so very easy to keep clean.
Also in the shed, there is a washing machine and drier which meant we could put our sheets etc through before we left.
There's no internet and the telly reception can be a bit dodgy if the weather changes, but we used my phone as a hotspot (we're on Skinny) and streamed Christmas movies with our HDMI cable and our Chromecast. It was perfect.
We had an idyllic Christmas break here, especially after such a hectic and strange 2020.
Thank you Louise for letting us hang out at your AirBnB.
