We just spent one last night of a long vacation at Sonya's place and it was perfectly suited for that.
it's a very quiet and remote area which is easily accessible by car, though. 20 minutes to Raglan (nearest shops and restaurants) and approx. 2 hours to the Auckland airport.
The house is modern and spacious with a nice garden and a great view over the surrounding hills and the ocean. great sunset and night sky.
And on top of that Sonya is a very nice host! She was very friendly and helpful and provided a great continental and full English breakfast.
I would definitely come back!
