Enjoyed my stay here immensely. It was clean and tidy, quiet in the evenings, and close (3 km's) to the wedding venue (The Hunting Lodge).
Russell and Alison really have thought of everything when it comes to hosting guests, which I was impressed by. They are also lovely people, which makes the experience even better.
Muriwai isn't far away either, and managed to also visit the beach, as well as exploring Helensville.
The road starts to get busy around 8am with people travelling around the area, but its not overly noticeable.
