We had a very pleasant stay at Shanon’s place. Waiwera is a quiet small town with a beautiful bay. It’s a quick drive from Orewa, where you can find lots of shops and restaurants. The apartment is clean and spacious. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking with pots, pans, functional knives (!) and lots of dishes. Parking is conveniently located right in front of the house. The beach is a short walk away, a perfect place to see sunrise! We also enjoyed the cedar tub in the backyard. Overall this is a great value for the area! High recommend!
