We had a lovely long weekend at Janet's place. Before we booked, we didn't know the area overly well and tried for a location close to everything. Janet's place is a comfortable 8-10 min drive back to Matakana, and about 15 mins right to Tawharanui Regional Park, so pretty much the perfect spot. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean, with lots of space as well. There is a nice lounge area to relax in at night with Netflix etc, so you're not stuck to just the bedroom. Janet is a lovely host and made us feel really relaxed, and her dog Teddy is adorable as well. Overall, a really great spot for a weekend, close to everything you need in the local area. Highly recommended!
