I’ve had such a lovely stay at Jill and Rodney’s place in Piha. Jill and Rodney are the kindest hosts, gave me wonderfull tips for hikes/things to do, and respected my privacy whilst also always up for a chat/laugh. They made me feel at home at the first second and they thought me a lot about the history of New Zealand.
I would 100% recommend going to Piha and staying here.
Piha is absolutely stunning. It has a lot of nice hikes and is also great for trail running. The beach is great for surf. I didn’t have a car, and Piha was definitely doable without one. I recommend buying some basic foods in Auckland, and buying the rest at the Piha store.
Thanks again Jill and Rodney!
