Loved it

It poured with rain and we had a power cut on Xmas day but none of that mattered as the setting was so perfect. House is well cared for. We will definitely use again

Off grid, quirky, pristine beach glam ping experience

Lovely stay. When we drove in along the gravel road, because I had booked months ago, I was worried we would be too far out, as we had our 8 & 10 year old kids. The minute we saw the ‘shed’ I remembered the reason I had booked this place. It was amazing. Curated with love and care, great art and furniture. Lots of frisbee, alpaca’s, walks to the beach and electricity with a fridge to keep the drinks cold. Being that far out away from people but SO CLOSE was quite a luxury . Thirty minutes into Parakai pools (which the kids LOVED) and helensville for dinner or ‘the art of bread’ baked goodies. Dinghy if your kids wanted to paddle the lake………it was amazing. The walk down to the ATV track and then through the woods to the beach was longer than we expected but well worth it. Took us approx 40 minutes to drive back into Auckland the day we left. So nice to be remote and then not having to drive distances with the kids.
