We didn’t really know where exactly we were coming to when we arrived at Flaxmill. Is it a resort? is it a campground? Didn’t matter, 5 minutes into our two-night stay we knew that it was a special location. Close to the ferry to get a few groceries at Whitianga (great salad ingredients at farmers market) but also close to historic Lookout/Lonely Bay/Cooks/Hahei/Hot Water beaches. The accommodation was both high spec and immaculately clean. Beds were very comfortable. The whole place was well thought-out. Could tell the people that designed this place had the comfort of their guests in mind. Amazing outdoor bbq area with stylish concrete table under mature trees. Helpful, warm hosts that were available when needed. Fabulous. We loved it!
