Slice of paradise

A little slice of paradise! We arrived late in the evening and called ahead to let them know and they had left an excellent guide to get in! The garden is to die for with bbq and great outdoor seating! Great kitchen, lots of fridge space! Would recommend and will be staying again!

The manager was very understanding with us arriving 30 minutes past office closing. The vibe was very beachy and relaxed. Was a hostel with guests sharing main areas, bathrooms, and kitchen, but had no problems at all, and other guests were really friendly. Was close to the beach area and boat rides, too.

The hibiscus flower on the bed was a wecoming touch. We were surprised to share shower and toilet as photo viewed appeared to have own shower and toilet. No one else booked other adjoining 2 rooms so we had our private wing, so pleasing. Large lounge and kitchen facilities were well equipped, 2 fridges and freezer and boxes for food. Spades provided to dig at hot water beach, great idea. Able to eat dinner at the local pub just a 2 minute walk. Hahei Beach just a short walk. Walk to the pa provided great views. Shame the walking access to Cathedral Cove and Gem Stone was damagesd in the Gabrille cyclone, only access by water. Boat tours and kayak tours available. We enjoyed our stay, off peak, would be busier in summer.
