This is an incredible place - the perfect beach bach. Super comfortable and stylish, and spotlessly clean. The views from both inside and the deck are to die for. The beach at the end of the garden is perfect for swimming, a nice sheltered spot with a pontoon to swim out to. The house manager Cherrie was great and went out of her way to accommodate us. The area and nearby Russell town are stunning and peaceful with excellent restaurants. (I would recommend it over Paihia which was much more touristy.) One of our favourite stays in NZ!
