Marina was a lovely host and met us straight away to show us all the features of the apartment and give us handy advice for our stay. We loved the delicious breakfast basket, good plunger coffee and festive touches - very thoughtful. We also loved the pool table and there were boogie boards and spade for Hot Water Beach to be used also. It was handy having Netflix when the weather wasn’t great in the evening, but on a nicer night Simpsons Beach in Wharekaho wasn’t far for a spot of fishing. We enjoyed the use of the outdoor table for meals and views were better than we expected. There were two fridges which was useful. Car parking was directly outside the unit. Bit of a steep drive up the hill to get there, but worth it. Good value, would stay again.
