Whakapirau is a peaceful hidden gem on the upper reaches of the Kaipara Harbour. No cafes, no shops and no traffic! The perfect place to unwind and connect with the beauty of nature from the living area and deck of this perfectly-located holiday home. It was lovely to watch the ever-changing view of the sea, with all the varied bird life, and the occasional fishing boat, paddle-boarder and kayaker.
Kathy was wonderful to communicate with and all the instructions were clear. It was great to have the book about the history of the area. We even met and chatted with one of the long-term residents of the area while we were out walking along the beach.
My hubby is super fussy and he said this was the best place he'd ever stayed in in New Zealand! The bach has a really welcoming vibe, is so comfy (as is the queen bed) and equipped with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. After our 3-night holiday, we were so relaxed and refreshed that we really didn't want to go back to the city.
If you want to get away from it all, this is the place for you!
