Rachel’s place is close to restaurants and shops but better yet , it is a short drive to the bustling and exciting Hobsonville waterfront with market and gorgeous walks. Her apartment is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. A lovely healthy breakfast with whole wheat bread and granola etc was a delightful surprise. Thanks for that! We were glad to park in the back close to our cottage and off the street. Hubby enjoyed relaxing with Netflix while I explored the neighborhood, walking easily to the ocean. We’re grateful to be able to stay a little longer during the day.
