Excellent location right opposite the beach and a short drive from Tawharanui park. Janet was a great host and the accommodation is well appointed with a comfortable bed and large living area. There's a small breakfast bar - enough to prepare breakfast and some sandwiches for lunch, but not so suitable for cooking a larger meal like dinner, unless you're just microwaving things or want to use the BBQ.
The location is quiet - just the lapping of the waves on the beach over the road.
Overall, we had a great time. It was the right price for the features on offer.
There was no phone reception, but wi-fi was fast and reliable.
Should you rent it? I would say that the only issue might be if you have trouble with mobility because the driveway is steep and you'll be parking at the bottom of it, plus there are a few stairs to climb up to the deck. Not a problem for us, though.
If you like dogs, Janet's dog, Teddy, will accept all pats and scratches with unwavering gratitude.
