We had a fabulous time at Jo-Anne's place - spectacular views, spotlessly clean house, comfy beds and we loved the retro decor. The house has is well equipped and Jo-Ann made sure we had everything we needed. The views were spectacular and being able to walk down to the beach in 2 minutes was such a treat. It was a great location for exploring the Karikari peninsula and heading up to Cape Reinga. Mangonui just 2 min drive away had some great restaurants. We highly recommend Jo-Ann's place for a easy and relaxing getaway.
