Nice view of the black sand dune
Just as advertised. As simple as that. We arrived on a nice sunny day and even though the weather became overcast then wet at times, we did not let that affect us as we know the NZ forests tend to become alive in such conditions. Thanks for letting us be part of this.

The home was very well setup with a brand new kitchen and freshly painted interior. Perfect for our needs. The home owners were very friendly and easy to deal with and we will certainly look for this property in the future.
