A lovely long weekend celebrating Mum’s 70th. We missed the first night due to the state of emergency but arrived to a warm, well-prepared home.Comfortable, family-friendly, and in a great spot near Goat Island and Matakana, with everything we needed. We’d happily stay again, such a relaxed, welcoming feel.
