We loved the week we spent at Cheviot Hideaway. It was really quiet and peaceful and was a classic Kiwi bach. And we loved the area - loads of lovely beaches and we had so much fun in the surf. Our kids (9yrs and 12 yrs) absolutely loved the local MAZ (Mangawhai Activity Zone) for their scooter and roller skates. The local restaurants were great (thanks for all the recommendations Fiona). We also really loved the friendly communication with Fiona. She's a great host.
