This is a beautiful space. A 30 second walk down to a beautiful crescent-shaped beach with both black and golden sand. About a mile long, with good firm sand near the water (for all the runners out there). Big glass windows and a balcony on both sides to enjoy both the sunrise and the sunset. Short drive to Whitianga for shopping, and highly recommend the Trading Post up in Kuaotunu for brunch outdoors. Mary was super responsive and helpful. All in all, highly recommended - lovely and clean and comfortable :)
