Our 3-night stay in Emma's Rosewood Garden Retreat for a family wedding was excellent. The tranquil environment (as we live surrounded by native bush and birdlife) was absolutely perfect for us. The location was also a convenient distance for exploring the area. With Covid lurking sadly we didn't visit the Matakana Market (we would have loved a whitebait fritter) but we enjoyed a drive to Leigh, Goat Island Reserve, Omaha, Snells Beach, Algies Bay and Warkworth. Perfect weather to explore.
Emma's correspondence was excellent and our accommodation was private, spotlessly clean and well equipped.
