Idyllic Spot to get away
I highly recommend Chris and Talia as hosts. They suggested places to go, and we took their advice. They were straightforward to communicate with if I had questions and quick responses. We were in the area for a wedding reception, and The Shed was a great place to retreat for some quiet time. I would give Talia and Chris ten stars if it were possible.

Rural Retreat
Blissfully quiet private property well off the road but close proximity to great beaches, Matakana and Warkworth. House has new modern appliances and was well appointed. Large property to explore, but alas the weather prevented us enjoying that. Host Chris is very welcoming, friendly and accommodating.

We spent a peaceful holiday in this distinctive property embraced by green valleys, scenic tracks and beaches. A short drive could take us to historic town and farmers market. The property is so well equipped that it has everything we needed. Chris and Talia gave us warm welcome and attended to our needs. Definitely wish to visit again for our next holiday!
