Weekend away
Perfect place for a getaway. We explored a part of New Zealand we havent seen before. So close to several beaches, just a short walk away. Sheryls place was perfect for us, 3 adults, lots of space and great outdoor area to use as well.We were able to catch the ferry from Pine Harbour into downtown Auckland, then another one out to Rangitoto Island. It was very easy and a perfect way to get into downtown Auckland.Very easy to get to the airport as well.Thank you for letting us stay for a perfect weekend away.
Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025
