Kakariki by the sea
Clean and spacious and everything we needed. The view associated with the property online was not taken from the property- so we thought it was closer to the beach. We did bump our heads on the bunk beads in the night :-( Otherwise we were comfy.

We had a great few days here with Mark and Kirsty. There were only 2 of us but there is plenty of room for up to 6. Loads of space and a plus point ….no TV. Was well kitted out and had most things we needed. Good location close to some of the best beaches you will find and also peace and quiet .
