We had a fantastic four nights at the bach and loved it immensely. It is rustic but very functional and the views and beach access are to die for. Only 20 mins drive to Havelock North and 15 to Waimarama Beach where the shop there does great fish and chips. Ocean Beach is so wide with the finest sand. A great beach to walk on. The water is a bit chilly this time of year but that didnt stop us from dunking our toes on our morning walks everyday. There was a freak late afternoon thunder storm that we watched come in, heard with great crashing, and large flashes of lightening over the hills and huge rush of downpour that lasted a couple hours. It was quite dramatic and all part of the show. We sat endless hours on the verandah watching the waves crash on the beach. The host even gave us a live crayfish one evening! A very comfortable bach with lovely art and well equipped kitchen with stove, oven, pots, pans, and dinnerware. A great place for enjoying the beach and surf, relaxing and enjoying some sun. We will be back.
