Chose this place for its farm location and safe garden for a small child. Beach at the bottom of the drive for daily sandcastles and fossil hunting. Several attractions at Te Anga a short drive away, all less than 10mins walk from the main road - Marokopa falls, Piripiri cave and a natural limestone archway. Would be good for those into fishing as we watched surfcasters catching fish from the beach. Great view from old pa site a short walk up hill behind house.

Great spot, nice and quiet, with a amazing birdsong to wake up to, would be good for larger groups or just small ones like ours, plenty to see and do, would recommend getting in touch with farm owners before you go regarding on farm activities but heaps in the local area as well. just wish we could of stayed longer, so definitely be going back! thanks guys for the awesome weekend.

This place is awesome. Private, quiet, tranquil, plenty of space. Lots to do and explore. Only shame was that we were working during our stay.
