Nice peaceful beautiful place to stay, close to Mangorei Rd end where some Mt Taranaki walks start (beware, a lot of steps. You will be on a wooden walkway which keeps you above the mud !) About a 20 minute drive to town & 15 minute drive to other places of interest such as Tupare Gardens, Pikopiko Eatery (highly recommend their spicy calamari dish), Burgess park & Lake Mangamahoe. Sit at the dining table or in the bath looking out at the private gardens/bush, & sit on the deck in the afternoon sun looking out to the township & sea in the distance.
