Fist Class Stay

We loved staying at Trish's place - a few minutes walk to the Main Street and some great walks/runs to do - with a swim to cool down at the beaches as needed! The house had all we needed and hearing the kiwi at night was wonderful. This is a hidden gem and we hope to be back one day.

The house is perfect for holidays and very tidy. A lot of space to store fishing/beach/boat material and well located with a nice view from a big deck. The owner is on the top, very helpfull. I highly recommend.
