The space
I am a 62-year old art curator who loves living by the beach and enjoying nature. My place is small, so would suit active guests who want to be in the outdoors, enjoying beach walks, cycling, kayaking and birdwatching as the area has plenty of opportunities to enjoy these past times. The guest suite is spotlessly clean with lots of character and is fully sustainable with solar panels, filtered rainwater and double-glazing as well as recycled furniture. Please note that the property is the one downstairs, and closest to the road which has two water tanks attached to it. It has a 10 metre flat driveway leading to the garage. If you go upstairs there is a shared deck area which is closed in by plastic roller blinds. You are welcome to use this area.

While there is a shop in Ōrere Point which sells necessities, if you are staying a couple of days, it is advisable to bring groceries with you as the area is isolated, and it is over an hour's drive to reach a supermarket. Takeaways (fish and chips in Kaiaua are excellent, and liquor is sold in the Ōrere shop) close around 6pm in Ōrere Point store and 7pm at Kawakawa Bay.

Part of my collection of Tongan tapa, paintings, prints and embroideries by some of New Zealand's leading artists is on display.

Guest access
On arrival, you can use the remote control and drive right in to the garage. Make yourself a cup of tea before you get ready for a swim, and walk through the laundry to the bedroom and en suite bathroom.

Small studio in quiet village
The property was accessed via the garage. The kitchen was very basic with nowhere to put wet plates etc after washing up. There is a 2 ring hot plate for cooking which didn’t appear very safe. The washing machine leaked all over the kitchen floor when used. There is no living area, just 2 chairs in the bedroom and storage for clothes is just a small wardrobe in the bathroom. The upstairs had a young couple staying so the shared deck did not seem usable to us. The couple upstairs were quite noisy and could easily be heard moving around upstairs.

No comfy chairs to relax at night, Just one swivel chair and a couple of old uncomfortable chairs. Luckily took radio as no TV or radio in room Frig was old and not sealing.. Clothes dryer venting into kitchen making floor etc wet. The multiple power boards in the kitchen were also a bit of a concern The redeeming feature was probably the bathroom which was bright and modern except for the wardrobe being in the bathroom

A stay amongst the birds
Very pleasant clean property, lovely to arrive to after a long trip and just as appeared in pictures. Well insulated with good opportunities for good airflow when it’s warm. The owner is very responsive to any requests. The kitchen is very basic, no oven and only basic hobtop, which looks to not have been used for a long time. While there was a tray of kitchen goodies, everything was a little jaded (old tea/coffee etc), luckily had brought my own. Could have used slightly more laundry detergent for a week, but to be fair I extended my stay by 1 day. Otherwise I was very pleased, the bathroom is beautiful and very pleasant to use. Great to have an internal access garage, gave a bit more space for the small dogs. Bed was very comfortable, all linen of good quality. I would definitely rent this property again. The location is lovely, nestled amongst trees, but still sunny, free roaming chickens and a goose as neighbours. 10 minute walk to the beach, and corner store even closer.

Good Stay
Worth what we paid. Would stay again Definitely needs a little bigger deck off the side door, just enough for two chairs. The shared deck doesn't work for us.

First impression was ''ok''. As we got into the place we were sort of falling over each other. It was too small. Thank goodness we had fine weather The continuous noise from the garage was getting unbearable and the clack clack noise hot water tank at 5.15am in the mornings. The fishing was zilt only stingrays. We were lucky we had a call from home that we had to leave a day early other wise we would have left anyway.
