We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kathryn & Jim’s delightful place. Situated up a driveway it was very private, peaceful & the birdsong was stunning.
We received a warm welcome & advice about bush walks- a nearby track up the hill provided a good workout.
Jim kindly dropped us off at the start of the falls walk allowing us to collect our car at the other end.
They told us about the Third Wheel Vending cafe for the best coffee in town; this became our morning routine including bran muffins and divine vegan cheesecakes.
A day trip to Cape Reinga was spectacular and a tick off the bucket list. Revisiting Kerikeri & Russell for a picnic lunch under the pohutukawas followed by a swim at Long Bay revisited some memories.
They have a kayak which we ran out of time to use. A huge deck with table, chairs and shade was great considering the amazingly warm weather.
The bedrooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. There is an intimate TV lounge. Communication was easy -our hosts were excellent.
We highly recommend a stay.
