If you want an idyllic setting to relax in, look no further. This place is one of the best I’ve ever stayed in, and I’ve travelled extensively in NZ and in Europe. From the moment you walk in, once you can tear your eyes away from the stunning 180 degree views, you will be aware of all the personal touches, and realise you are lucky enough to be in a home, not a soul less rental. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, both with cooking utensils and with spices and sauces etc, in case you forgot to bring your own, and there is every mod con you can wish for.
I hope I get the opportunity to come back. This place is soul-restorative; a place to soak up the tranquility and watch the tuis feed on the flax flowers a few meters away, or gaze out over the native bush to the glistening waters of the Hokianga Harbour while lying back listening to your favourite music. So much to love.
