The location of Diane and Mike's house is absolutely beautiful. The view is stunning and it is so close to the beach you can get there in just a few minutes on foot. The heat pump was one of the best we have come across in all the places we have stayed in NZ which was great since we arrived pretty late on our first night and there was no heat on in the house at all. The kitchen was well equipped and the shower was nice and hot. The beds and the rest of the house were a bit rough in the comfort and cleanliness arena.
