Awesome place! We spent 2 nights there. Clarks Beach is a small town but within easy reach of the interesting and scenic Manakau Heads area and less than an hour from Auckland in the other direction. Hayley also supplied us with a generous amount of snacks. The unit is private and has a nice deck out front for enjoying your favorite beverage. Hayley's place is also down the road from a secret World War II New Zealand Air Force Base that not many people even today know about. While the area is on private property, you can read all about it in a book Hayley has. Wonderful experience, hope to be back.
