This place is lovely and cozy. I went during the winter and it was never too cold inside, it was just right. The hut is very insulated, soundproof even, and the bathroom is nice and clean. It’s also just beautiful and qell-decorated. The kitchenette amenities were also good for cooking simple things or warming things, with pretty clear instructions on how to use everything. The location is also brilliant- Piha beach and the falls are walkable within 20-10min. The place is tucked away and private. My only qualm is that, because I didn’t have a car and had to go everywhere on foot, walking back home from the beach was a bit scary at night, since there weren’t street lights lighting the whole way. However, the neighborhood is super safe, lots of families there, and I’m just really paranoid. Additionally Claire was super sweet and drove me to the bus stop for a reasonable fee!
