Rod and Jenny were great hosts. We have stayed at Rod's place for our weekend getaway. They welcomed us on our arrival, explained everything and gave us a letter with all the useful information written on. We have been to Matakana farmer's market and Parakai springs on Saturday, and Matakana vintage market and Tawharanui on Sunday, which were not too far away from Rod's place. Supermarket, cafe, restaurant and so on were very near his place. Everything was as was in the photo or even better! If you are thinking of going to Whangaparaoa, Rod and Jenny's place is where you must choose!
