My favorite Airbnb stay out of approx 20 in the past 4 months around NZ, it’s that good. Seeing the water from the apartment was amazing. It was our first time at this beach which turned out to be sheltered and perfect for swimming even at low tide. The apartment is very spacious and has everything you’d want. On a clear night the stars are spectacular. Very easy to get to the Tutukaka marina for shops/restaurants or the fabulous beaches Whale Bay and Matapouri. The hosts are wonderful and even shared veg from their garden with us. Wish we had booked for a couple of weeks not just 4 days.
