A wonderful peaceful stay. The house was cozy and homely. The spa and the tramp were fantastic for the kids, with the beach and an awesome playground a short stroll away. Not much open around the place in winter and midweek (to be expected) but we were happy visiting the Tawharanui park seeing loads of native birds and spending time at the house. Less than 10 minutes drive to Matakana that has everything you need. A perfect quiet winter getaway.
