Loved the commute to the beach, maybe 20 steps maximum. As with other reviews take everything you need from a groceries perspective, it is not a short or straight drive to get to a shop to reprovision. Would definitely stay again. ##### Jackie C.

Mar 20, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great view and beautiful location We really enjoyed our stay. The view and the outside seating was truly relaxing. Spencer was very accommodating to our needs and went out of his way to make sure we were happy guests. We had our wedding in Bland Bay and needed a home base and this house worked really well for us. We had all the bedding and kitchenware that we needed to stay there for the week. We wanted somewhere with close access to the beach for our kids and this was it. The outdoor shower just before you come into the house is really helpful with sandy kids! They also have tons of games and puzzles that we used. The broken outdoor clothes rack was unfortunate but they did have some indoor clothesline options. Hopefully they can fix in time for next guests. Bland Bay is a really special location and this house worked well for our family of four!!! Don't forget to buy all of your groceries before coming to the area. You can buy all of your groceries and liquor in Russell or Whangarei before arriving in Bland Bay. ##### Jacinda R.
