Top marks for hospitality! This is a wonderful traditional home with outstanding views and a short walk to a marvellous beach. The view from the veranda is great and the bay is gently sloped so it will be great for small children. The split level lounge and kitchen diner was a great place to relax, and the description is accurate. The bed linen was crisp and fresh, and we appreciated that the beds had been made up with both a top sheet and a duvet - making it easy to sleep cool or warm.
We arrived after a long and tiring flight from the UK and drove straight here from the airport - a straightforward run that took us about an hour. My daughter was driving a new and unfamiliar car and her first automatic - which explains why we turned on the headlights when instructed in the tunnel en route and forgot to turn them off again. Next morning - disaster - completely flat battery and a 5 hour drive planned up to the north! Geoff had an instant starter to hand - and when that didn’t work called on some mates - five kiwis helped us rescue the car and get on our way. Geoff and Janny were so hospitable and helpful that a disaster turned into a chance to make new friends. We left relieved and delighted and ready to enjoy our next adventure. Fantastic hosts.
