Awamarino is perfectly located to be able to easily explore the South Kawhia area! The accommodation is great and suited us, we were especially pleased for a hot shower after 4 days of tramping - Awamarino was awesome to relax and recover. Joanna was able to help us catch up with extended family from the area which was a lovely added bonus to our trip. We'd definitely recommend the location and area, especially if you want to get away from everything but still have reasonable proximity. Highly recommend and we'll be back!
