Emma is a lovely host and her place is truly an escape to the country. The proximity to warkworth and matakana is really convenient if you want to spend the morning in the saturday market, or catch a movie after dinner one night. I can imagine the closeness to the beach is really nice in summer too.
The place itself is very homey and a light modern design. When it rained it was great to snuggle up on the big bed and when in was sunny we sat in the garden and ate our brekkie. We didn't get the chance for a garden walk but definitely will explore more outside in the gorgeous garden next time.
Making food was very easy too as Emma's place is so well kitted out. We wanted for nothing.
Will definitely recommend this place for any couples in the city who just want to escape for the weekend. Thanks for the wonderful stay Emma!
