The Tree-House is a stylish small cottage set amidst the trees looking down toward Great Barrier Island. It is full of light with breezes that made it quite pleasant sitting on the balcony in the afternoon. While the driveway to the house is at first alarming to non-NZ drivers, we managed just fine in a small car taking it slow and carefully. The location is perfect for exploring the great beaches north of Whitianga - uncrowded and beautiful.
