We were two families that stayed at Ron's place and had a fantastic time. The place is big enough to accommodate two sets of kids and parents, the outdoor fireplace is fun, the lounge is roomy and the kitchen has all the necessities. Fibre broadband and Google chromecast was also convenient for putting on movies for the kids. Lots to explore, around the estuary, over to new chums and at Whangapoua beach itself. The local store was well stocked with any extra essentials for your stay. We even saw a pod of orcas! Great place, highly recommend.
