If you're looking to get away from it all, city life that is, then look no further than Kumeu.
Quiet, tranquil,peaceful, the only sound you will hear at night here at Trotting Course Drive are the cicadas.
Mountain-biking, running,walking, there's plenty of opportunity for those activities here,too,if that's what tickles your fancy.
Otherwise, put your feet up,sit back and relax with a cold one on the veranda.
I did, everyday in fact, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Fiona is good company and allows you to do whatever it is you wanna do, even if that means blobbing out with no particular itinerary.
On a final note,my holiday at Kumeu enabled me to recharge my battery,so to speak, and to face the New Year with a more vibrant,exuberant and positive outlook!
