Monique was an amazing host, communication was great, and she was very thoughtful in letting us know the in's and out's which were much appreciated. She was even kind enough to have the fire place set up and ready to go when we arrived, which we made use of and heated up the entire place taking the winter chill out of the air. The views of the North end of Piha are spectacular, sunsets were absolutely stunning. It was great watching the surfers from the deck on the nice comfy cornerseat with cushions. It also was not far to walk to the beach. The facilities are great, everything is there, like a home away from home. The beds are comfy, enjoyed a great sleep. Will be coming back again, this place is a gem :)
