We were greeted at the house on our arrival and made to feel so welcome. The house was just as described and like the photos. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and the whole house was really clean. The back garden / yard was a really good size for the kids to play and we all loved lounging in the hammock. The location is brilliant, just a few minutes walk into Paia which has some great restaurants and so close to lots of lovely beaches, our favorite was Baby Beach. Great snorkeling and we saw some really big turtles. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it.
