I can only recommend staying at Ian's rockhouse. He is a great,helpful host with a big heart. His house is surrounded by all kinds of plants, trees and shells. The room we stayed in was huge, with a big window to let the sun in, a spacious bathroom (great design) and a little kitchen with everything you need for a simple dinner! wifi worked great! within a few minutes you can explore the beautiful beaches of karikari penisula! highly recommended!
