We had the most amazing week there, such a beautiful spot with Hihi Beach on one side, and Mangonui Harbour on the other, both 5 mins walking distance. The location is also so handy to so many other awesome places: on different days we went up to Karikari peninsula, to Coca-cola lake, down to Whangaroa Harbour, Te Ngaere Bay, Matauri Bay.
I can't recommend the Far North enough and this bach was the perfect base. Comfy beds, a well-appointed kitchen and fully fenced for the dogs.
