The location is the best you can get. The property has a beautiful garden next to the coastline with access to the beach. The deck behind the house provides the luxury of eating diner while enjoying the sunset on the Whangarei Harbour. The Four Square is a 15 mn walk, and there are a couple of restaurants within a 5mn drive.

This was the perfect place for a relaxing short break. Beautiful garden and views, and just a few steps to the beach. It was great having the shops we needed just around the corner also.
