John and Lorraine's place exceeded our expectations. We had so much fun there. Their place has waterfront access and is just a stroll away from a nice park and a beach if you have kids. John helped us get their kayak down to the water so we could go for a row, made sure we all had life jackets too and shared so many great tips with us. The space is neat, clean and modern, the beds are super comfy and we had loads of privacy. There is no place for cooking, but with so many great restaurants just a ferry ride to Whitianga that made no difference to us. I would really want to go back one day, it was a great experience.
