We had a lovely time in the Kauri Villas. The new hosts are doing a great job of making guests feel at home with delicious breakfast (which varied throughout our stay but was excellent every morning) picked right from the garden or henhouse. The lamb dinner was one of our best meals in NZ! The place is situated off of the busy beaches but still in reach of them if you have a car (perfect for a relaxing holiday where you have all the options).
