The outstanding feature of Helen’s place is the deck and amazing view. We really enjoyed sitting around and absorbing the ocean. Kai Iwi is a small village with a black sand beach which is a short walk from the home. Helen was extremely helpful and accommodating allowing us to check in early after a long journey. Overall the house was neatly presented and clean but some parts could do with a refresh and more attention to detail in some areas which would lift it to 5 stars. Bear in mind phone reception is very poor but that’s a good thing if you want to chill and get away from it all which you certainly can do here!
