Friendly hosts that put together a lovely place to stay, it has great views along with entertaining bird life. Its a peaceful and quite place which made it a good place to just chill out & do nothing when you let yourself.
There's plenty of thoughtful touches to go with the spa bath which has private views out to the nearby native bush once you open the large bi-fold windows... although a 20min drive to Otama beach is a great outdoor alternative.
Carol's place is a central location to explore north & south of Whitianga and a place we'd recommend to friends and others to stay at when they're on holiday next... thanks guys.
