This stay is one of the most beautiful places in the world, but it is no joke to have a car that is suitable. It is very remote. We like it that way, and we made it work with a twelve person van. I had the upstairs room with the balcony, epic! Loved the outdoor fireplace and hot tub. The tables inside and out were so cool. The view was like no other. Pancake rocks were a short walk and nice. Neighbors were very nice to talk to. We also got to the Waitomo Caves from here. The best part of all was Mark! He took us over to Raglan three days in a row, which produced so much more to do. A very cool town with shopping, restaurants, and bridge jumping. Highly recommended by the Hirt Crew!
