We love coming to our beach house where we can relax or actively enjoy days at the beach, badminton and other outdoor games on the back lawn.
Our favourite day out is hard to name, with a ferry trip to Whitianga for brunch, a trip to Hahei and visit to Cathedral Cove, or a soak in your own self-made hot pool at Hot Water Beach, or a lovely bush walk up to Shakespeare Cliff Lookout where you get an incredible view over Mercury Bay and Cooks Beach and beyond. How can I choose?
