Our experience with Sarah was top shelf. She took the care to heat the place before our arrival (key for July in Whangamata) and met us personally with a smile even though we were a hour late. She also had coffee tea and fresh milk waiting for us. Much appreciated.
The place was warm and spotless and a short walk to the breathtaking section of Whangamata Beach. The estuary was serene and full of birdsong; we didn't see any dolphins so that must await our next visit.
We highly recommend staying with Sarah.
