I loved waking up to the sounds of native birds. The "nest" is rustic and full of character; It is also very spacious. There were lovely touches like 'real' coffee and eco-friendly products. The WIFI was great - but my cell phone tended to lose signal a bit (could be my service provider). It really is 5 minutes from the main street of Gisborne (if you google 'Pouawa' you get Pouawa beach which is half an hour away - it is closer to town than that!). I thoroughly enjoyed my stay - it was the perfect place for me. Make sure you try out the Bamboo energy-free sound system :) Simon and Kelsey were lovely, readily available if needed; but left me to myself which I appreciated. Kelsey was happy to change my booked days around a bit - with no problem. Thanks, I will be back!
