We would move in if we could. Clean, secure, very comfortable and nice and private. Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. I would recommend this to anyone looking for great beach house.

Kōwhai Cabin was in an excellent location to the town centre and the beach, an easy walk to both. The Glow Worm Dell was less than 10 minutes walk and well worth a visit. The cottage was very private down a leg-in drive and designed well for the sun. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It has plenty of space both inside and out. There was only two of us but still plenty of room if four people stayed. Not a negative but I think the property is better suited for adults and teenagers than a family with young children. I would stay here again.
