We loved staying with Anna and Jack. The room was spacious and immaculately clean. The use of the washing machine and a large fridge were much appreciated. As the room is down a level from the main house they have managed to give it a feeling of privacy while still being welcoming and informative. 2 outside areas give access to sun or shade at different times of the day. Situated up a steep drive the house gets the benefit a lovely breezes from the sea and you can fall asleep listening to the surf. We did 2 organised tours while there, the Cape Reinga/90 mile beach and a nighttime nature walk in eco valley (insect repellent and good walking shoes required) both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. A visit to an old Gum diggers site was also interesting and not overly touristy (again take repellent).
