We had an fantastic stay ( 4 nights ) at Richards place and we enjoyed every minute ! The view where amazing from the terrace.....the walk to Cathedral Cove ( 1 houre ) fantastic !! Whitianga , Otama Beach, Lonely Beach , the view from Shakespeare Bay .....lovely !! The chicken in the garden , the avocadotrees : we enjoyed the “farm-feeling” ! The house was perfect for us : bed sleeps very well, the shower was great, the kitchen well equiped , we’ve recommended these place !
