Ben's home was the perfect weekend getaway spot. The house is modern, clean and spacious and has a perfect kitchen if you want to make dinner at home and relax. The open concept space is the highlight. The doors open so the living space connects out to the porch. The views are incredible! I could sit on that porch all day. We wish we could have stayed longer.
The location is ideal for a secluded and relaxed getaway. The coffee shop at the end of the road had great coffee and pastries. I would recommend getting groceries in Whitianga before driving up as the one restaurant, Luke's, is closed during the weekdays. Go to New Chums Beach (about 20 minutes away)! It was one of our favorite parts of our trip in NZ.
