Now this house is on one of the nicest north shore beaches. Waves all the time steps from the house, some of the more secluded breaks.

We spent lots of time snorkelling as the kids enjoyed it but we stayed in a private house instead.
www.homeaway.com/search I spent a lot of time finding the house at Hau Tree. The points that sold me was the small rock wall out the front, so even on the bigger days the kids could still swim inside and be rather safe. Right in front of the house. Also it was huge with so much privacy. The beaches are different over on the North shore as you can't just get straight to the beach unless you have a house. People will walk down from access spots but its very quiet. The neighbours that we met have become great fiends for us now.
We were also on a small off road from the main highway. You could that way pull in and out with out having to reverse onto the main highway. As i said we spent many hours up at the Resort and sadly i never surfed it ( i regret not surfing more all over now, but at the time had so much fun straight out from the house) . Different holidays id say, we had a car and spent time hiking, driving around and looking at stuff, then just relaxing out the house. I really enjoyed feeling like a local other than maybe like i was on a holiday. The resort you could get away with not having a car, but if your going that far, get one and look around.
