Enjoy water based activities- kayaking, fishing ,swimming or walking, relaxing, sketching, so many opportunities from this bay and beyond. Gary and Paula enjoy,swimming,kayaking, cycling and walking all from the property. Paula enjoys fabric art and gardening - it certainly is their idyllic retreat.
Close by is the site of New Zealand's first capital so the area has historical significance. Waitangi can be viewed from the property across the Veronica Channel, where the Treaty between the Maori and the British Crown, was signed in 1840.

Self-contained gem.
Paula's house and apartment are comfy and well supplied with all your essentials. The location is stunning...we enjoyed the amazing garden and access to the little cove below for a swim. Breakfast on Paula's terrace was delicious ....and those views!! The only small remark I have is that the hot tub (though switched on) was only half-full and the water was very dirty with a lot of grit. Otherwise 1st class!
