We absolutely loved our stay in Ben's home. I wish we had of stayed here the entire week! The view is incredible & the beach a short walk. Luke's kitchen is a lively restaurant within metres that has excellent pizza, including GF. We managed to drive to New Chums beach & Cathedral Cove no worries. Whitianga is a windy 15min drive but has several supermarkets & amenities if you need. Ben was fast with responses & we would love to come back. Cheers!
