A home away from home.
Our family had a fabulous stay at Shifting Sands recently. The house had everything we needed, was very clean and tidy and very quiet. Angela and Jeff were very easy to talk to and responded promptly to our questions. The house is in a great location for exploring Whitianga and the wider area. Would love to stay again sometime and would highly recommend to anyone else.
