Description of People: I have travelled extensively throughout New Zealand and stayed in self-catering holiday homes. I gain enormous pleasure from offering this home including all the aspects of a holiday home that are important to me when travelling.  I want it to be a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the amazing piece of the planet that it occupies, in comfort, cleanliness and peace. I am always simply a phone call away to attend to any queries you may have.

This is the first year for this holiday home.  Confirmation that I am on track came, when my first clients, after moving in on the 26th December for five days, rang and asked if they could stay another five.  The photos tell half the story. A holiday there will complete it.
A large vege garden will soon be producing spray-free veges for your use.

Occupations / Interests: As a sea kayaker and photographer, this place is heaven for me.
Comments / Attractions:  This holiday home is ideally situated for all ages. The lawn runs down to a private, safe, sandy beach on the Whangateau harbour. A few minutes drive will take you to:

Omaha Beach and golf course.
Matakana vineyards and resaurants.
Goat Island Marine Reserve.
Warkworth Shopping Centre.
Pakiri Beach/ Horse Trekking/ Surfing.
Sandspit and the ferry to Kawau Island.
All tide boat launching.
And that is just the start of it.
