Knowing nothing about New Zealand, and making our decision to come here quickly, we looked over some surf beach, beach houses available on Airbnb and decided on this one. I'm so glad we did. This little town (a post for another day) and our beach are fantastic, and our house is perfectly comfortable.
Our top floor, main room has windows on all sides, flooding the space with light and cross breezes. Our windows are always open. We do all of our schooling here, although Geoff keeps trying to take Shakespeare discussions to the beach.
We have three rooms and two bathrooms and a small backyard. A cleaning lady comes once a week. It is a great set up for our month-long stay.
Adele took a photo tour of our neighborhood and walk to the beach with Tennie. I'll include it here.
Looking down our street towards town. (Cars park on the grass here.)
And the other way, towards the corner where you turn left to the beach.
Around the corner and straight to the sea. These pictures make it look farther than it is. It is a short block. On the right, next to the white building (beach bathrooms and lifeguard quarters) is a great little restaurant and ice cream window. Ceci wants to go every day.
We walk right onto the gorgeous sand. Beyond Adele, the beach curves right and keeps on going, maybe for a half mile.
Here is Adele around the corner.

And as I've mentioned, sunsets in our neighborhood are consistently amazing.
Home sweet home, for now!
