I very much enjoyed staying at Carol's place and will definitely stay again. Carol was very friendly and welcoming, and especially considering I was staying in her home, I felt like her personal guest. The bed was super comfortable and it's so quiet at night. There is a very nice walkway around the point with beautiful views of Whangateau across the harbour, and it's convenient to Matakana, Omaha, the Matakana Country Park,and Tawharanui. On an explore of Omaha I found 3 farmstands open out of 5 or 6, so I stocked up on fruits and veggies. All in all, a very good experience.
