We had a great stay ,had a 92 year old in wheelchair , no wheelchair access but made it work( two adult males did their weight training). Take your own flannels and towels as these are short on offer otherwise all good. Stunning views to explore and great birdcalls to hear.

Great location!
Perfect spot, few mins drive from Tutakaka marina, short walk to cafe/dairy/take away spots. Shell suggested some activities for us after our diving was cancelled and we had a nice coastal walk around the cliffs and found lots of octopus! House was well equipped with everything you would need. Nice decking area outside for a glass of wine.

Very nice and good location
A beautiful home close to the bay. Enjoyed our walks along the bay, especially during low tide and driving to many of the beaches near by. The marina was also a nice area to see the boats, the small beach, browse a couple of stores that were open and have a bite to eat. Shelley was quick to answer. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much.
