I was looking for an escape and some peace and quiet up north, with the ultimate goal of going to Cape Rienga. This provided all that. Tucked away in the bush, sounds of birds (including Kiwi), comfy bed. Great food at the pub in town (Pioneer) , easy access to Bay of Islands and further north. Never actually met the hosts, but all happened without a hitch. WiFi was sketchy, but if you say that with an NZ accent it sounds much more acceptable, and really, you're there to get away from it all anyway!
