New Zealand“Really friendly staff member who was kind and smiley and made you feel at home. I also loved being able to buy a bottle of wine, snacks, oj and pop at the reception area.”- Dave New Zealand“Right next to the beach, and 5 minutes from town, the location is perfect. There is a boardwalk a few metres away which takes you up and down the beach too, which we found delightful. A marvellous spot.”
