A good, tidy house with the basic necessities for a comfortable stay. Right opposite to the start of a popular walking track to Tapeka point. Cooled by sea breezes, choice of two beaches (sandy or rocky shorelines) close by. We enjoyed our stay here.

Loved our stay at Houston Cottage, would loved to have stayed longer. Its a well equipped Bach, awesome views, so close to town , lots of exploring you can do if you like walking. Tapeka Hill lookout was amazing. Sunset and sunrise were incredible from up there. Lots of Wekas around the area, boy they can be really noisy at times but so fascinating. Kiwis in the area too, didn't get to see any but if we had gone for a nighttime bush walk maybe we would have!! Next time! Saw dolphins playing out in the Bay putting on a great display for a Cruise Ship that had just come in! Overall, its not the "ritz', but it is a great kiwi bach, very comfortable, well equipped, didn't have WIFI but what better way to have a break from work and from 'gadgets' and just enjoy the beauty of the area - much more relaxing. Thanks team Houston for sharing your place, loved it.

Wonderfull place to stay, Clean and tidy with good views of Rocky and Tapeka Bays and a Short walk to both. Decks are good for lounging around and would stay longer next time.
