I cannot begin to explain to you how idyllic and peaceful this place is. The moment you walk through to that balcony you breath is literally taken away. The noise of the ocean and watching turtles and whales from there is divine. We just lived in that space! We were there with our 3 adult children and their partners for 1 week. The spot could not be more ideal to experience the North Shore life with everything just a short drive away.
A lot of the beach sand has washed away during a very violent storm late in 2019, but they have brought more in and constructed a very sturdy step for you to enter and leave the beach. We only swam outside the house once as the swell was large and the rocks a bit precarious, but you just walk a short way down the beach and have easy access to swim. The house itself has every amenity you need. It is also really easy for everyone to cook and help clean up as everything is very well organised and there are two large fridges so plenty of room for provisions! The house is also very well designed with everyone feeling that they have their own space and no one feeling "on top of everyone". The hosts actually live on site but are in no way obtrusive at all and only there if you need anything at all. Just lovely people. We needed a week out of our extremely hectic business to chill, reconnect with our kids and enjoy the family over the Christmas Period. It was more than I expected and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone.
