Coming from a long drive on a hot day from Auckland Airport, it was a joy to step down the steps into the native bush canopy and rest our weary bones. The place was a good location for us and our rental car with many day trips to Keri Keri, Russell, Paihia, Waitangi and further afield places. It was the kind of place that reminded me of where I grew up in the Nelson countryside with the established totara trees and native birds. Thanks for a great stay. Henry & Liv.
