You shouldn't miss this place for the fabulous hospitality alone! Erin provides all the extras including fresh roses and chocolates. It's also a wonderful relaxing location perched on the hill and point overlooking the Kaipara to the front and left and right. It's conveniently close to Paparoa which is a quaint little village and has a farmers' market on Saturday morning. Also not far from Matakohe Kauri Museum and local artists John and Anne Ecuyer just across the road from the museum. You'll meet the dogs and the goats and the chooks. A bit of paradise. Thanks Erin & Kevin!
