The bed is new and very comfortable. And while the furnishings and appliances are modest there is everything you need. In respect of cleanliness it was ok - not sparkling but certainly not terrible. The studio appears to be a converted garage and is under the main residence. It is across the main road from the beachfront. It is very close to a good fishing wharf and just two minutes walk up the road ( heading towards Dargaville ) there is a great little bakery and fish and chips shop called Sands. And make sure you check out the Scenic Lookout which is just south of the bakery. The outlook is simply amazing.
