Has been well maintained, bathroom has been updated. Has a newer conservatory on the front deck. Furniture and beds are comfortable. Beach access is directly across road.

We decided on last minute get away to whitianga in the summer so wasn’t many options to choose from. I’m surprised this place wasn’t snapped up already. Great location, quiet away from town but not far (we still walked to town from there) and directly across the road from brophies beach -great for kids! Bach had everything you would need.
