Te One is a real gem, both for the home itself and for its setting in Paekakariki. You can quite literally step out the door and in a few steps be on the beach. Surf sounds sooth you, and the breeze off the water is pleasant and keeps the temperature moderate. The house itself is very comfortable, with a plethora of very thoughtful touches throughout. Not only are there all the amenities you could ask for, but Josie and Grant have organized and labeled things to make it so easy for newcomers to find what they need. Additionally, Josie and Grant have made all sorts of gear available for their guests -- thanks so much for the use of the bicycles! A highlight of the stay is a pedal through Queen Elizabeth Park to Raumati for a great lunch! Paekakariki itself is a very pleasant town, with convenient grocery and fruit shops nearby and excellent cafes, and the rail station just a 5 minute walk from the house! The beach goes on for miles and beckons for long walks in the sand and occasional dips in the water. A great place so spend some quality time!
