We wish this was our family house! You couldn't want a better location--the ever changing colors, the tide sweeping in or out, the boats, the hills--all of it worth every moment you could spend there. We stayed in fifteen AirBnbs in NZ and we are hard pressed to think of a view we liked more than the one from the deck of this house. (even in the rain) It's not a fancy house, it's a family house and all the better for it. The beds were comfortable, the linens fine, the kitchen was big and had good appliances, and anything you could want in terms of pots, pans, baking supplies, and dishware. Mel was very helpful and responsive when we needed some advice. Great swimming in the harbour and a great walk up Mt. Paku for incomparable views. Highly recommend. Paul, Andrew and the lads.
