We wanted to explore the Kaipara harbour area on our way north to the Hokianga. We selected this place in part for its location, far enough north to move us on but not so far north that we didn’t have time to explore on our day’s drive north from Auckland. It proved to be perfect in all respects. After a lovely bit of exploring over the western side of the harbour we made our way to Glorit and turned off the main road. The house is a short distance inland in an elevated position with expansive views over farmland and the harbour in the distance. A very relaxing environment. Enjoyed watching the changes in light as the sun set over the harbour and learned a lot in conversation with the friendly and hospitable hosts. We set off north next day after a beautifully quiet and comfortable night. An excellent option for staying in this area.
