Fodor's Expert Review Wai-iti Beach Retreat

With a walkway and views straight onto a surf beach and about half an hour's drive north of New Plymouth, the setting is the star of this comfortable self-contained accommodation. Timber furnishings, deck areas, kitchenettes, private bathroom facilities, and local artwork are features of four beachfront apartments and a larger beachfront cabin. The expansive property also has 14 converted shipping containers (open summer months only) with furniture that includes theater seats, but these are set farther away from the beach with shared facilities.
