Some places over-promise and under-deliver. We've all come across them and we ever factor that in. With this place, you get what you pay for and more. It's about a 10-15 minute drive to Waihi Beach and a 10-15 minute drive (in the other direction from the house) to the Karangahake Gorge- so, in our estimation, perfectly positioned. The cabin itself is exquisite. Our family enjoyed it immensely.
Gabriel is a great host who went the extra mile to make sure we had a great time.
I've probably never been able to recommend a place so enthusiastically.
