This is a wonderful retreat tucked away in the NZ bush. It was 100% clean, stylishly laid out, and very modern. The hosts are friendly, helpful and respectful of privacy. At night you can see the stars in a 360 degree circle as there is no light pollution. In the early morning, the kiwis call from close by the verandah. From the retreat, it is a short 15 min drive to Whitianga or 10 mins to the ocean beaches, or to bush walks. This is the ultimate in get-away-from-it-all relaxation. Highly recommended.
