Great apartment with full kitchen. Very nicely decorated and across from the beach. Highly recommend! And restaurants nearby were outstanding (Cabana and The Lical).

Great heated outdoor salt pool. Perfect when weather at the beach was pretty average. Close to Lost Springs too.

It feels very relaxing and laid back.
A quiet place in the off season, but it was just what we needed.
Quite a small place, off the beaten track, more designed for local holiday makers than tourists. If you want more hustle and bustle try Whangamata instead.
