Whangarei Heads is a pretty special part of New Zealand. We felt very connected to our NZ heritage and the craggy mountains down to the ocean are quite spectacular. The walk up to the top of Te Whare is challenging but what a great feeling to get to the top and a body surf in the waves when back at the bottom was great fun. Liz and Neil are excellent hosts, very good communicators and quick to support anything we needed. The house is lovely, works brilliantly and has something for everyone including a great games room. At night you can hear the kiwis coo!!! We enjoyed having time away from wifi and making home cooked meals together. This was an awesome stay even in the middle of winter so can imagine how lovely a spring or summer stay would be!
