Spent two beautiful days here just before Christmas . ..well thought out home with everything you need. We loved the beach and the wildness and the town down the road Kaitaia was great to visit. We missed the museum as it closed for Christmas but it looked great and the library has free WiFi. The old shops and layout was fun in the town..and contrasted with the wildness of the surfing beach at shipwreck bay. My husband scrambled up the sand dunes at Ahipara .. not sure how he managed it. We will be back one day loved it all.
