About the host
Hosted by Mark & Barb
We grew up in Whangarei area and have always had a love with the beach. We love the lifestyle as we have a boat and enjoy going fishing regularly . We play golf and walk the many tracks in our area. We are also a short trip by car to the our city centre Whangarei ( about 35 minutes)
We are also retired and have recently purchased a modern caravan so we will see more of our country New Zealand .
We enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and would very much like to meet you.

Why they chose this property
We choose to live at this property because of its closeness to excellent fishing grounds and easy to launch your boat . Choice of having safe swimming and also to be able to go to the surf beach and not to far to the main township of Whangarei. We have a large property to enable people plenty of room for boats .
