A great spot to base yourself for exploring the region - really easy to get to hot spots such as Matakana and beaches like Tawharanui. Very cool for our three year old to experience the farm, he loved meeting the lamb, pig, etc. Easy check in, very friendly hosts and an AMAZING view from the grassy spot outside, so peaceful looking out over the water, farm and vineyards. Only note is that the mattresses are very springy/bouncy but we are both large so may not be an issue for most people.Would highly recommend, far superior to a boring motel.
