After enduring a week of being locked up in an MIQ hotel room, escaping to Jacqui's place was the best thing that could have happened to us. I wanted to give my son a taste of kiwi summer beach holidays and so we ended up at Piha for a week. We spent every day boogie boarding and seeing the local sights. With some creative use of the microwave we were able to self-cater the whole time although there are places to eat nearby. Best to stock up on provisions before you come to Piha though because the one store has a very limited range and is rather pricey. Jacqui was the perfect hostess, discreet but available for a chat or for any queries. The location is simply incredible and just a few minutes walk to the beach. I can't recommend a stay at Jacqui's highly enough. We hope to come back one day.
