This is the place to go if you want a tranquil place with a great view of the steep, green hills of the west coast. We watched the clouds form and swirl around while sitting on the balcony. The house was very roomy and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We did see glow worms- sparkling within the forest very near the house. No kiwis, alas. It was an easy day trip to the Waipoua kauri forest and to the Hokianga harbor. Candy was a great hostess with lots of local insight.
