Great stay. Rustic but comfortable. 20min drive to the closest supermarket. lots of kitchen utensils, pots, pans to make your own meals. Handy to have access to a washer & dryer during our stay. Good tip from Sandy to arrive during daylight hours as it is a little way off the beaten track to get there and streetlights are scarce. Loved watching the fish & hermit crabs in the fish tank! We found it a good base for 5 days to explore the area. Took around 60mins to drive to Volcanoes National Park (one way). Went to sleep at night listening to waves crashing on the rocks below. No blinds on the windows & doors facing the sea so we were up very early with the sunrise. Nice drive to Pohoiki black sand beach.
