Relaxing weekend away

We enjoyed our stay in Kawau Bay Beach House. It is a tidy, well presented beach house. We especially appreciated being able to take our lovely lab, Charlie. Martin was a great host, friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to others who are looking to stay in the area and don’t mind a walk to the beach.
