Muriel and Evan are wonderful hosts with an absolute little gem spot. If you are looking for a little peace and tranquility this is the place.
I thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the deck, the fresh air both day and night was so cleansing. I enjoyed watching the stars dancing in the stillness of the clear night skies.
For day outing Whitianga is a 15min drive and wonderful little town.
If you feeling adventurous head north to New Chums beach the lookout is definitely worth the climb and the beach itself spectacular (NB best to go there 2hours either side of low tide). With loads of other beaches to stop off along the way.
This secluded yet central place is one not to be missed.
