The Nikau Nest was the perfect place in which to decompress following a hectic wedding and hectic weather. The flat is wonderfully private and remote, with a gorgeous view of the wild landscape outside the cabin, and there is a lovely place to walk, down a hill planted with all of the exotic plants you could hope to find in New Zealand. The air is heavy with the fragrance of the flowers and place is thrumming with the sounds of birds, sheep, and cicadas. You are well away from any city, and yet it is easy to drive to Mangawhai on the East Coast from where you can walk the Cliffside Walk, along the beach and high in the hills. and there are a range of restaurants in the town.
Would heartily recommend for anyone who wants to get away from it all and find peace and privacy.
