Was an amazing stay and truly felt like our home away from home. The home is well decorated and stocked to make your stay enjoyable. We enjoyed the short walks over to Russell to restaurants and cafes and Long Beach, which is a very nice swimming beach. We also enjoyed the quick walks over to Tapeka Point Beach just a few hundred meters from the house. The view from the deck was perfect for enjoying breakfast & coffee, midday sunshine as well as sunset BBQ with wine. There is a good chance for spotting kiwi in the forest at night. We were sad to leave this location, the nice home and the super nice hosts Paul and Sharon. We highly recommend their place and would have liked to stay longer !
