Enjoy the beach views from the spacious open plan living areas in our uniquely designed "bure" style bach. Bask in the sun on the front deck, or stroll across the front lawn to unspoiled Te Horo Beach. Great swimming in summer, beach walks all seasons. In summer, enjoy al fresco meals with friends under the pergola in the pretty coastal garden. In winter, relax by the wood fire with a good book, board games, watch your favourite DVDs on the large curved screen TV. or just curl up on the window seat and watch the waves roll in. Whatever the season, express your competitive spirit with pool, or petanque (a glass of wine in hand). Table tennis is temporarily out of commission. Inspired by Ruth Pretty's nearby cooking school, you can cook up a storm on the BBQ or in the well equipped kitchen. Or enjoy local cafes and restaurants.
