We loved our stay at 6 Bella Vista! The view is absolutely stunning, coupled with the quiet serenity of the surrounding bush and bird life make for the perfect spot for a morning coffee. The Bach has its own access directly down to the walkway that takes you to the Whakanewha regional park were you can do all of the many beautiful walks. Just walk 5 mins down the road to the peaceful beaches that have excellent swimming as it is very calm, and only a 10 min drive down the road is the large Countdown (and best pizza takeaways). The house has a kitchen well stocked with everything you need, a fireplace that is super cosy to light in the evenings when it cools down, and two very comfy queen beds and was even perfect for us with our two young kids as there was also a kids bedroom! Perfect peaceful escape away from the hustle of life in Auckland, we had the best Easter and hope to be back again soon!
