Truly gorgeous views and a lovely spacious layout with easy beach and town access. If you are looking for a great spot in Paekakariki, this is it! We loved the amenities including ample lawn & beach furniture for adults and games for kids, heated towel bars and floors in the bathroom, and even a telescope for viewing the moon at night in the master bedroom. The view is simply stunning when you walk in the door, and is only rivaled by the view from the upstairs master bedroom, where you can sleep with the windows open and hear the roar of the waves all night long. The two other bedrooms are spacious and Penny was nice enough to put up a cot for my baby. The beach is very easy access with only 5 or 6 stairs down to the water, with a little handrail for those less sturdy on their feet. It’s a quick and easy walk into town along the beach when the tide is out or by road when it’s in for a cup of coffee and breakfast or to visit the grocery. Penny and her husband have done a great job adding touches and artwork that make the place feel comfortable and friendly, like a relative with a great beach house! The garden is lovely as well. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! Thank you!
