Short walk to Beach

Lovely modern and bright property with all of the essentials needed. We particularly liked the fact we could bring our Dog along and that it had a Nespresso machine! Only downside was no blinds on a high window in the Bedroom.

Great location, everything you need!

Good location, close to Onetangi beach and cafes, very clean and comfortable wee Bach. Big comfy bed. Bedroom has very high windows above the main windows without blinds so it was very light in the bedroom in the morning other than that very enjoyable stay.
