A lovely place to stay - the flat is homely and spacious and the grounds are beautiful. Unfortunately the weather was awful during our stay and we were stuck inside the house, but Gordon was very attentive and took us through the ford when able (due to very high water levels). Feels like you are right in the bush but it’s only a short drive to Whangamata. Our little baby loved exploring the large garden and it was a perfect spot to enjoy an evening bbq (weather permitting!)
