Perfect hang-out for a couple. Great location close to the beach with lovely views from the deck. Stephanie's a lovely, welcoming host and she's kitted the place out beautifully - definitely the comfiest bed of our our 8-week trip! The local town is a few minutes' drive, with lots of cafes and restaurants. A trip to Waiheke Island is a must for any visit to the North Island, and Stephanie's place is a fantastic base. Highly recommended.
