We really enjoyed our stay, lovely spacious house with everything we needed. The host has been very thoughtful with things in the house that people may need on their stay and with all the information prior to arrival. The house is super close to a lovely beach and a short drive to Takaka township. Couldn't fault anything about our stay. Thanks.
