What a lovely place! Clearly a beach house, used by the owners then Airbnb’d out when not in use, it is located within less than a minute’s walk from the beach, and it has two double bedrooms, a bathroom, a full kitchen and a living area in the main building, plus some more beds, a bathroom and a kitchen annexe in the converted garage next door. It has a stunning outside space, not huge, but very well thought out, with our personal highlight-a big round lounger, perfect for doing a spot of stargazing. The owner of the house has a gigantic collection of films, there are books aplenty there too, although I don’t know how bad the weather would have had to be for us to spend time indoors, there is just so much to do within driving distance! One thing worth mentioning is the close proximity to the Auckland Airport. When you are due to spend the next 29 hours on the plane, like in our case, you really don’t want to drive to the airport for hours beforehand, and this place was 40 minutes from the airport, yet so well located that you could not tell at all. In summary, a gorgeous place, a gentle finish of our Kiwi Adventure. Highly recommended
