Renate is very welcoming. The accommodation is scrupulously clean and comfortable. I loved the gigantic panoramic view from the rear deck of the house which guests can use including comfortable outdoor seats and table. The view includes the entire Bream Bay including Bream Head, off shore islands, coastline, horses at Ruakaka Race Track, Ruakaka River and ducks, birdsong.. it is breathtaking beautiful. Handy to beach, supermarket, cafes, and such a reasonable tariff. Perfect.
