Setting aside the rubbish weather, this was a really beautiful spot to rest up for the first 2 nights of our New Zealand trip. The beach is long, wide and gorgeous, and just across the road from the apartment I had my first up-close experience with a pohutukawa tree which was overhanging the sand. The apartment was large and smart with a good kitchen area and a terrace with a view of the sea. We had a warm welcome at reception with an offer of DVDs and a range of local wines to buy. If you're staying here, definitely head to Mudbrick for dinner one night, it's really excellent.
