Mike and Maree’s place is as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The view of Shakespeare’s Cliff is amazing, and the best part is that you can enjoy it all day long from the comfort of a couch on the deep balcony. And we also ate all our meals at the table on the balcony. Mike and Maree live downstairs, so they are on site if you need help or suggestions about dinner, walks, etc. We didn’t have a car, so they generously picked us up with our luggage from ferry landing wharf when we arrived, and even drove us to the closest place to buy beer when we needed some!! The fridge was full with breakfast food, which we so appreciated given our car-less state, and they are a 5 minute easy walk to the ferry that goes to Whitianga (2 minute ferry ride). What more can I say? We loved every minute there!
