If you're looking for somewhere on the Hibiscus Coast which is close to Orewa, Red Beach and Whangaparaoa - you can't go past Ariel's place. Amazing value for money, sparkling clean, a VERY COMFORTABLE bed and shower with great water pressure including a rain head. I have stayed in 5 star hotels which were not as good as Ariels place.
We did have some small issues with the WiFi cutting out, but that was quickly fixed when Ariel lent me an ethernet adapter for my MacBook - this fixed all the issues.
The house is very new and modern and is certainly the best AirBnB I have stayed at on the HBC.
Thanks again!
