We absolutely loved Martha-Lee and Stan's place on the waters edge at Kaingaroa Harbour. Stan helped us each day with recommendations and access, picked us up and dropped us off at the airport, and lent us a car for the duration. We particularly loved the day trip to Rangihaute / Pitt Island, and hiking the Awatotara Track on the south western edge of Rekohu. Kaingaroa is a great base, well away from Waitangi town itself. Make sure you bring your food with you – Waitangi is a two-hour round-trip away!
