It was an absolute pleasure to stay at this lovely and charming little eco-pod in Whangamata. Situated right behind a beautiful orchid on their property, it was the perfect "retreat" with a fully equipped kitchen (continental breakfast included) and super shower/toilet facilities (perfect jet stream) just steps away in a separate unit. Maryann and Russell were nothing short of exceptional in hosting me as their guest; their selflessness and compassion is very hard to come by. I loved the experience so much that I chose to stay an additional night to conclude my travels on the North Island. Her thoughtful ginger crunch treat is an absolute delight to die for. Highly recommend to anyone looking to unwind - such good vibes here!
