Great place for nature lovers!
We stayed in a house for ourselves, well off the main highway in a sub-tropical surrounding with proteas everywhere, horses, ducks, water-lillies and friendly dogs. The house is very spacious and nicely decorated. Polly is a fantastic host, enthusiastic about what she is doing, and full of good advice.
There is an access road to the 90-mile beach nearby; and the drive to Cape Reinga takes about 80 minutes. The little town nearby provides a store, a bottle shop and 3 restaurants.
In short: A perfect base to discover the top North.
