Very quiet and relaxing

The property is in a rural location but only 10 minutes to shops and the beach. Hazel kept in contact throughout the booking process and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. An excellent property with everything that you need for a comfortable stay.

Quiet Overnight on the way from Northland

Rural location made for a very quiet visit. Air conditioning is a valuable feature in a rural location, so you can close the windows and doors and not be invaded by flies when cooking. In NZ, the mostly hopper window design makes flyscreens difficult - in Northland, you're besieged by flies at mealtime. Mozzies also come in on the wind, so A/C is a welcome feature. Very comfortable lounges and beds and overall suited four people well. We brought some rain to the area !

Tranquil

Fantastic property, exactly as described. Beautiful country setting, with lots of wildlife, a short drive to the beach and not too far out of Auckland. Well fitted out, with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
