Pam and Peter's pace is very much in the country and yet still reasonably close to Silverdale and Orewa. The lane leading up to our stay is typical rural with tall trees and concrete road surface. The place was exactly as advertised and the hosts were very chatty and made us feel very much at home as soon as we arrived. We had access to their sheep and paddocks and explained all the bird life and facilities. The only thing they missed was the rooster.... Peter greeted us and explained he was a wine buff. He has a lovely old 1985 Citroen sitting in his shed and Im sure he would have taken us for a spin if we'd asked. If you want to avoid the traffic noise and want peace and quiet this is it.
