I had a wonderful stay in New Zealand. Ahipara is a scenic area right at 90-mile Beach with Cape Reinga up the coast. Hugh's spot is on the sea side nice for surfing, swimming and just walking along the water. One of the best things about this place is the Host-a real character with a generous nature who makes sure you have all the basics and truly goes above and beyond. He prepared a fish dinner with fish he caught himself and it was so delicious! Upon my departure, I got a flat tire which he assisted me in replacing with the spare. I slept well as the cabin was comfortable. My kind of place with the ocean right there-hearing the waves crashing on the shore at night with an oceanfront view!
