Claire was a lovely host, she was at work when we arrived but she left very clear instructions so we could get in. The room looked exactly as it did in the pictures. The room was very clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom. It is a great location, quiet and only 10 minute walk to the beach and cafe (cafe has yummy food and coffee). There is a beautiful walk to the waterfall just a couple of minutes up the road.
I would highly recommend the Beach Hut, it has a relaxing vibe and Claire is very friendly and also gave us good advice about places to go. I would be very happy to stay there again if I went back to Piha. Thanks to Claire for making us feel welcome and relaxed.
