It is a grear spot and a very nice house however it would be nice to know how remote it is so that we could have got some supplies before we headed to stay. Kahwai had only a small convenience store and other dining options were closed. Expedia distance to Waitomo caves has it listed as 33km when it was 77km away.

Perfect spot

Enjoyed our stay at Aotea Harbour. House was well equipped with everything you need. Had a peaceful, relaxing stay, which was just what we needed, nobody around. Had good communication with Host Taylor and when we were due to leave, cleaning lady. Thank you all for a great stay.
