Great place to sleep. If you are looking for a stop off on the way to cormandel or perhaps coming towards Auckland from the South, this was very well prices and great. Giada kindly met me, helped me get in easily. It is a room attached to the house-in the early evening you can hear their child, who sounds delightful, chatting etc. That noted I put this in only if you are someone who really cannot stand to have noise around. I found it made me feel right at home and I slept like a log in the very comfy bed. The rain shower is great too. Would definitely stay again. I got up at 7 and enjoyed the breakfast, but I hung out sorting my plans until brunch time. Highly recommend 'public office' a restaurant about a stones throw away in Ngatea for a brunch if you hang around for a bit like I did. Found Ngatea go be a surprisingly enjoyable place to stop.
