The Church Accommodation was perfect! It’s super-easy to find, and Anna from reception was super-friendly and helpful. Our apartment was tiny but had everything we needed, we especially loved the little porch at the back! You can easily walk to Hahei Beach and to the “city-center” where you find a breakfast/lunch cafe, supermarket and a restaurant. We also walked to Cathedral Cove (took about 1 hour). The Church is a short drive away from Hot Water Beach as well.
If I ever come back to NZ, I would love to stay here again!
