Great place to stay! Was here for only one night but was really awesome. Located approx 35mins from Palmerston North and right next to the beach. I would say it is real value for your money. The host were awesome too allowing me alot of flexibility when things didn't go according to plan.
Just a note that at night there are a few sand flies and what not, it wasn't a bother for me but if you are a really particular about flying bugs then this is something to be mindful of, however there is no problem during the day (A mosquito net was provided in the master bedroom). Overall awesome place to rest up if you're travelling from somewhere far.
