What a beautiful place and a perfect location. Although the cottage is simple, it has everything you may need to enjoy your stay in this authentic little surfing town. Being beginner surfers, we weren't able to actually surf right in front but a beach where we could go was only a 10 minute drive away. Surrounded by sounds of the waves, chickens, and geckos we felt the full experience of the North Shore lifestyle, minus the traffic on the street in front. Unfortunately Paul was away during our stay but his friend hosted our visit instead. She was friendly and even acted as our designated driver one night. Would definitely love to stay there again.
