Thankyou Sue and Graeme the beach house was wonderful from the comfy bed to extremely nice shower. Brand new. Sky TV which great for sport loving husband . Very close to the beach and great to have bikes and kayak. The estuary was lovely to swim at if you didn’t want waves. So hot and a wonderful little sleepy laid back town . Such great hosts who were there if we needed and lovely people to chat with. The kitchen had all the breakfast items plus great deck and bbq which used . Whitianga only a 3 minute ferry ride if you need shops restaurants etc.. absolutely highly recommend staying at Cooks Beach at Sues place.
