We stayed for a week over Christmas/New Year holidays and found Sue and Graham to be such warm and inviting hosts. The accommodation is modern, roomy, very clean and comes with a well equipped kitchenette. It's a 5 minute walk to a gorgeous beach and 10-15 minute walk to the local shops (a restaurant, liquor store, fish and chip shop and dairy). The local attractions, such as Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach are 20 minutes away and Whitianga is 15 minutes away via the ferry. If you are after a quintessential kiwi beach holiday this is the place.
