Family Oldies
Nine older members of my family came together at the property. The view is breathtaking and house great if you want a casual holiday. It had everything we needed, was comfortable and right on the beach. Our host was so good to deal with. We all had a fabulous time and would definitely consider going back again.

View 10/10
The property is tidy and equipped with everything you need. It's an old school kiwi batch, so don't expect boutique accommodation, might even discribe as rustic. The bottom bathroom and bedroom is probably more suited to kids or anyone happy to stay very basic. In saying that even ground floor has a beautiful view. We had a lovely stay and ended up all sleeping upstairs. The view is absolutely breathtaking! Close to Flat White and some shops too.

We had an enjoyable family holiday with extended family. The central location and access to the beach were both awesome. The upstairs and downstairs areas worked well for us. The house was clean and tidy. Thank you for the little jar of flowers on arrival.
