If you want a peaceful place to chill out with stunning views, then this is the place to stay. If you want hustle and bustle, then this is not the place for you. Sarah’s place is an easy 10 minute drive to Dargaville which is the closest town. West coast beaches are not that far away. Sarah was a terrific host and Shane took my husband out for the day in his boat which was the highlight of the trip. Nice place to relax and had everything we needed. We’ll be back
