We were sorry to only have 2 nights at 'The Garden Studio'... The Studio is an incredibly comfortable & artsy space - it's wonderfully private, peaceful & quiet & the views over the lush garden & lawn area are magic - we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. The early morning birdsong is something else & we loved sitting under the covered outdoor area reading the day away & enjoying a wee family of quails trotting on by several times. The outdoor shower is a great feature especially just before bed so you can enjoy the night sky as well. Needless to say we LOVED our stay - it's just a short drive to the town centre, cafes & supermarket & the stunning beach on offer at Whangamata. The wi fi was very patchy so just a heads up in that regard if you are planning on doing any work here - we were there purely to relax so it didn't bother us too much. Thank you Kerrily for sharing this little piece of paradise with the rest of us!
