Annandale Beach House was even better than we expected. we were warmly greeted by Mary and Dan who quickly made us feel at home. they do not live on the premises. the pictures on airbnb do not do it justice. this lovely, spacious, open and airy home is located on the side of a hill in a quiet residential area. the glass doors open completely out to a large deck to let you take full advantage of the perfect climate & beautiful water views. to start our holiday, they left us coffee & tea, wine, yogurt, bacon, eggs, fruit, delicious homemade muesli, and honestly more things than I can remember. the home was beautifully appointed, the kitchen offered everything you need for to fully function and the living area attractive and comfortable. A grill on the deck was used often since the weather was always perfect. there is a beach for swimming or picnicking a 2 minute walk. The delightful little town Pahia has plenty of cafes, restaurants shops etc. everything you need is a lovely 10 minute walk or 1 min. car ride away . We were sad to leave Annandale Beach House. We are hoping to go back to New Zealand in a couple years and look forward to staying there again!!!
