As cyclists we could not have picked a more well located, scenic and tranquil stay for our rides on the Hauraki Rail Trail. The little cottage was separate, very nicely appointed and private, with views of creamy sheep strolling past in a paddock stretching to a forest river. The very well appointed kitchen enabled us to self cater and pack lunches which suited us as cyclists not wanting to eat out or have take away. However, there are nice restaurants and cafes close by if that is your preference. Hosts Dan and Lynley were attentive and obliging. When we choose a cycling holiday, part of that choice means getting close to the land and its people. We chose to interact with our hosts and what delightful, intelligent people they are! We highly recommend this stay on a picturesque rural property in a romantic setting.
