We wanted to visit Kai Iwi Lakes but are not into camping, so this place was perfect. It is less than 30 minutes drive from Kai Iwi Lakes and 10 mins from Dargaville, which made it convenient for us to get food/supplies. It is a lovely walk through the orchard - the kids loved the chickens, avocado trees, and swans at the dam. The view from there was stunning in the evening light. Having cold water and milk in the fridge when we arrived in the middle of summer was such a nice gesture. Thank you Jayne & Sean for your amazing hospitality!
