Beautiful, rural location but a short drive into Tauranga if you need to shop, socialise or do tourist bit. Our daughter loved the chickens. We stayed in winter, would have been able to explore a bit more if weather wasn't against us. A visit here is a must in better weather, there is so much to offer. Natalie was very helpful and could not help enough, it definatley makes you feel at ease when you can meet host face to face.
