Great location

Great location and community. Just across the road from McLeods Bay which is great for a dip but be mindful that it has sharp shells. Beautiful ocean beach just 10 minutes drive away. Mt Manaia club for New Year’s Eve. Note front of house was a construction site but back area lovely to relax. Front deck still a work in progress when we were there in January
