Joe's retro beach shack was well equiped with all we needed for a few days. It's simple accommodation with nostalgia inspiring quirks. There is plenty to cook with and the bed was comfy. The place is well located for enjoying beautiful views and walking distance to great surf. It's also a pleasant drive to Raglan town for a meal out or to pick up some surf supplies. Joe is a great host with a conscience for conserving water. We easily could have spent another week at Joe's.
