Joe's place is a quaint beach cottage conveniently located close to Opua and Paihia. The house is clean, everything works, and is adequately provisioned. There is a trap door and ladder stairs from upstairs to downstairs which is not suitable for the elderly but the kids absolutely love it. The downstairs bedrooms can also be accessed externally. Views of the Bay can be seen from the main living area and the adjacent terrace, which is a great place to sit and enjoy an evening drink. There's a good walk at the end of the road taking you back to Opua. We stayed there 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay.
