Joanna and her family are lovely. We really benefitted from their local hospitality and the care they put into making their home open to us. Very cute kids. Adorabled dog. Sweet goats! Do your grocery shopping before you arrive, and also discuss with Joanna about food options at her place a bit over a week before coming.
Not far from a beautiful black sand beach, great for a sunset. About 20 min drive to one of the most beatiful hikes I have done in NZ. Te Anga is somewhat off the beaten trail. This is why it is well worth a visit.
