We used this as a base from which to explore the region, and it was a perfect choice. Our hosts were warm, intelligent and generous. As we were staying 4 nights we had done a shop on the way, only to find a generous allocation of food waiting for us - more than just simple breakfasts. In fact we did not manage to consume it all. We have stayed in many bnbs and we have not previously been so well looked after.
The bed was very large and comfortable, important for me as I am 196cm tall.
The room was spacious and comfortable overall, and warm with the heaters provided.
It was great to be able to do a load of washing.
It was nice to wander the garden and down to the estuary, and it was only a minute's walk in the other direction to the gorgeous beach.
Neville and Debby were extremely helpful with tips on things to see, and we managed to fit most of those in.
It was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Being a cul-de-sac, and with the estuary beween the house and the main road, I think it would remain quite quiet even in the busy season.
Tata Beach is possibly the loveliest of the local beaches and I would love to be here in summer to swim.
We have no trouble recommending this place as one of our best ever NZ bnb experiences.
