Gay's bach called Rosie's is absolutely gorgeous! If you're looking for a little hideaway a stone's throw from auckland, that feels far away from the city and close to some cute country and beach towns for afternoon trips, this is the perfect place to stay.
With a great kitchen for cooking your own meals, we'd recommended heading to Matakana for the Saturday farmers market to collect some delicious produce to eat back on the verandah with the gorgeous view over the water.
This is the perfect place to put your feet up and unwind!
The house is wonderful as is the lovely host Gay - we couldn't wish for more. Very caring over emails, and making sure we were comfortable throughout our stay - we were so glad to meet her before we left as she was just as wonderful in person!
We'd highly recommend a visit to Rosie's!
If you're feeling active while you're there enjoy a walk at the nearby Shakespear regional park, especially to the rainforest or there is a beach at the end of the street!
Enjoy!
