Great place to stay, awesome deck and living area for a big group (we had 12). Excellent access to the beach. The outdoor stairs linking top and bottom floors were ok in wet weather (reasonable sheltering from the eaves). Outdoor shower (hot & cold plumbing) was great for rinsing off after the beach. Note for light sleepers that sound carries a lot from upstairs to downstairs (walking around, etc).
We enjoyed the surrounding pohutukawa in flower and tui flying around most of the day, loved being able to hear the surf from the house, and the big deck was great for having meals outside in the sun.
Very responsive and helpful hosts. Would definitely stay again!
