We picked Mike & Maree's place for the view and it did not disappoint! The apartment is spacious and the deck and views are absolutely wonderful. Mike & Maree were kind, welcoming and gracious hosts. Breakfast was delicious, and it's nice to have the kitchenette in the room (microwave, mini fridge, water kettle, sink). Maree gave us lots of recommendations on local restaurants. One night we took the pedestrian ferry to Whitianga, and another night we ate near Cooks Beach. The Pour House is also an awesome place for some food after snorkeling and swimming at Cathedral Cove! So glad we stayed here!
