2nd visit to Russell’s home. Home is functional for a family stay and a bonus to bring our dog. Agree aircon in the heat would definitely help at night, but just be prepared for this. Views lovely, secluded beach with private access, plus enclosure bay, less than 5 mins walk down the drive and Sandy Bay around 10 mins, if you prefer those options. Good driveway, but as you expect in Waiheki in the hills, steep and being able to navigate stairs a must.
