Karepiro bay, where dolphins often play, is visible about 200m away and gives access to the Hauraki Gulf with its many islands where fishing and sailing regattas

Stay was very pleasant. Access details were conveyed to us in a very untimely manner - not by Riccie but by VRBO.

Immaculate and spacious studio

This riverside studio provided a relaxing place to stay. The owner did everything possible to ensure we felt welcome. This modern, purpose built studio was spacious, attractively furnished and immaculately kept. It is certainly a place we should be happy to return to on a future visit to the area.
