We booked in with Anne and Craig for 5 nights hoping to explore the local area and the Coromandel. Anne was very hospitable and offered us several options to explore. We biked the local rail trail, walked to see some amazing Kauri trees and visited some amazing golden sand beaches. We did a lot of driving to get to the beaches. Average 2hrs. The area we stayed in was very private and sharing the kitchen was easy. I'd highly recommend Anne and Craig's place.
