We really enjoyed our stay at Carin’s, far more than expected. Carin is the hostess with the mostest! It was not long after bad weather with potentially more on its way, and Carin let us know she’d be happy to rearrange if we were concerned, and then went out of her way to prepare us for potential power cuts etc. with candles, torch and community civil emergency plans. All was averted and we ended up with lovely weather in a restful, comfortable spot with garden views and a wild beach 5 min walk away. Carin has a great eye for aesthetics, and her sleepout is furnished in soothing colours with quality linens and a super comfy bed. The kitchen is outdoors but well equiped and user friendly. Breakfast supplies were generously provided which gave us a healthy head start to our day and we enjoyed various excursions over the four days including the Tuakau museum, Mercer cheese shop, Pōkeno Bacon , Carin’s own Black Batch Ceramics and the Nikau caves are nearby.
