Rose and Ray were great hosts in this truly one of a kind accommodation, located at the top of the mountain but still close to the beach. Nearly 360 views from the property, bordered by a hiking trail and completely private. The road was in good shape for a gravel road, but a very small car would not be ideal. Rose provided yummy snacks, fruit, and some breakfast items. The jacuzzi at night was excellent and the star-gazing divine. It was the perfect rest stop after a long flight. Not far from Auckland, but far enough to feel like another world.
