The Very best place we stayed in New Zealand and the value for money for an entire unit was surprising and welcome.
The hosts are like the neighbours you always wished you had.
A perfect rural setting, and close to Auckland and the Airport by car.
There are amazing remote beaches too near by and it is perfect for a stop over to the Coromandel or before heading South as we did and then we stayed again the night before returning to Auckland instead of paying ludicrous amounts of money for so-called fancy hotels.
Save your money and have a fancy meal nearby instead at Pukehoke, though we enjoyed cooking for ourselves here last night and watch the cable TV after a very fast paced 3 week tour of the North Island.
We have decided to return here again for a few days, so we will write a more detailed review in a few days. I'm warning you, it's going to be a very positive one.
Anyway, .. ... back to resting and being lazy.
We highly recommend this place!
Thank You Lyn and Keith
