Summary: Lovely being right on the beach and handy to everything. The kids enjoyed kayaking and making huts out of wood on the beach. Being so close to Puponga (where i grew up) was great. Thanks Donna.

Summary: Lovely quiet, relaxing spot with everything we needed and the beach literally 10 steps from the house. We were so comfortable there we didn't leave the property other than beach walks and swimming!! We were really sad to leave, will book for longer next time!! Also, thanks to the hosts for thinking of us when they learnt the Takaka Hill would be closed on our departure day and allowing us longer to check out if we needed.
