Loved our stay at Jonathan's 'Peaceful cabin in a rural setting'... Access to walks/cycle ways are just across the road & the scenery on those walks a mix of wonderful sea views back across to the Mount & Matakana Island & rural properties mostly lush Bay of Plenty Orchards accompanied by beautifully manicured gardens..a feast for the eyes all on their own! A short drive (or good long walk) gets you to Omokoroa beach for safe swimming & you'll find supermarket, takeaways etc there or if you head in the other direction Bethlehem also has all of these amenities on offer. The undercover outdoor seating area at the cabin was a big win & we spent the majority of our time here ...wonderfully private with bush outlook. There are a fair few trains coming past just across the road through the estuary but you soon get used to them. The cabin is practical & spacious & we would most definitely stay again. Jonathan as a host was super helpful & his responses through the Airbnb site were pretty instant. Thanks for a wonderful stay ... only wish it could have been longer!
