If you're looking for some serious peace and quiet just an hour or so from Auckland city then this is the place for you. Beautifully appointed with very generous hosting. Cat's place is SO clean, spacious and warm (we were there mid June) with the wood burner a winner for both warmth and atmosphere. Ideal for a big weekend in but also there is so much to do in and around this part of NZ. We hope to be back. Thanks Cat.
