Cosy and secluded place. They have 3 dogs and some ducks too. It would be a good place to stay a night if you intend to go to cape reinga and ninety miles beach. Polly is kind enough to let us use their dryer and let us borrow buckets to collect some tuatua. The only small problem uis the flanette sheets is not dry enough and we felt that it is a little damp on some areas on the bed. We just put on the dry towel on it.
