Wow Idyllic restful beach front accommodation

"This is my first time using Bookabach. I started with a list of "I wants" - water view, full kitchen, wifi etc. - without any specific destination in mind and found this gem in Opua. Right from the start Delwyn, the owner, was a pleasure to communicate with; she was always quick with answers to my numerous questions, offered great info and suggestions about the area and was extremely accommodating when I swopped one apartment for another. This classic 1885 building, with two-storied verandahs,...

"Very good.Location excellent.Comfortable house.Pricing very reasonable.A source of minor annoyance was that the owners were still at the property well after agreed check-in time,requiring us to wait in the car on the road untill they left.Also they later returned to the house.
