One of our 2 top stays. Enjoyed our conversations and their help with the local areas and eateries. Place is very rural itself, but has access to the coastline areas you'll probably wish to visit-Shakespeare Cliff Lookout, Lonely Bay, and Cathedral Cove if you like nature. The closest town, Whitianga, is a bit farther away for a longer stay and more places to eat. Be careful about some of the local places to eat and their hours. Would have loved to stay longer at this lovely place.
