We had a great time at Ashley's and would stay again (if we could get in!).
2 couples, 1 baby.
The bed and linen was so good, comfy and luxurious!
Baby's cot was brand new and she slept like a dream! Yay!
Everything you could possibly need in the condo (beach towels/toys/mats/cold bag esky etc).
The condo is mostly modern and new. The bathrooms are outdated but clean with everything you need, loads of towels which I love.
Washer/dryer were easy to use and very handy with a baby.
Ashley's recommendations for coffee, food etc were spot on. I loved Belle Surf Cafe coffee so much!!
We only hired a car for one day to go to Paia and surrounding beaches plus shopping but next time we would have a car for the whole stay. Parking is easy. Although the local bus is cheap and easy it's still a little walk in the heat with a pram and that's a bit hard. Same with the beach, we thought we could walk straight past the golf course to the beach but in fact you have to go all the way around which makes it quite far (with a pram and all the stuff you need with a child plus lots of areas with no footpath).
Plenty of great shops and food nearby.
Handy hint- if you arrive early before checkin time (as we did and 24hrs traveling is a long time for a baby or anyone to not have a bed)- the pool is right next to the condo with a bathroom, change room, shower, chairs, tables and lounges.
Also the bbq/grill at the pools are super clean and great to use!
Thanks so much Ashley, hope to stay with you again one day in the future!!
