I wish I could give this six stars! The accommodation is so comfortable and the views are stunning, but its the welcome and hospitality that make this a home from home. Sandy and Tony were just the right balance of friendly chats and privacy, sharing their wonderful garden with us bringing fresh eggs from the chickens and tomatoes from the garden. There was plenty of little extras in the fridge and fruit and cereals for us too. The bed was extremely comfortable but for me it was the peace and tranquility of the place and the views that will linger in my memory. Just be aware it is a long gravel driveway to the property but easy in our 2 wheel hire car and worth every moment once you get there. We did Brick Bay Winery and sculpture tour in town and explored Martins bay which was good for swimming and Scandrett Regional Park was a good walking area. Snells & Algies Beaches were good too but busy and the local shops and takeaways there had everything you need but with Warkworth Countdown only 15 mins drive away. Matakana is worth a day trip too if you like the chic shops and bars! Sandy & Tony were so kind and helped us when we left our iPad behind too and posted it back to us! Thank you!!
