We loved staying here because it was so quiet, but super close to the beach and the Gannet Colony at Muriwai. Easy to get to Kumeu and Huapai as well, so lots of choices for food (grocery, restaurant and takeaway). The only thing to note is that there are stairs to get up to the accommodation, in case that makes a difference to you. There are all kind of birds there, including Lorakeets and a resident Wood Pigeon! Loved our stay, would definitely recommend :)
