This is a very special place and I highly recommend it for your stay on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. Situated in a pastoral setting it is peaceful and relaxing, while being close to all the area has to offer (Orewa Beach, Silverdale shops & restaurants, etc.). It is a 45 minute drive into central Auckland or you can take the ferry from Gulf Harbor. The accommodation is a quiet & comfortable two bedroom unit with a beautiful deck with table, garden and hot tub. While there is a small "snack" kitchen inside the unit with a small refrigerator & coffee maker the main kitchen is accessed via the deck. This "camp" kitchen is fun, large and well equipped with everything you need to store your food and cook your meals. The unit has fast internet and a large TV with netflix. The hosts are warm and welcoming and their hospitality made our stay extra special. We would stay here again without hesitation if we are back in the area.
