Sea on one side, estuary on the other

Location is fabulous! Many lovely walks. Over to beach, down or up a couple of blocks in distance and then back along estuary or visa versa. Very tidy accommodation with everything you need. It was great to have the garage to use to store our bikes. Bottle Lake great for mountain biking not too far away.

School holiday catch up

School holiday catchup with family who live in Christchurch and family from Auckland who came down for Auckland anniversary weekend. The chickens were the highlight for both the grandchildren (who stayed mid week) and the Auckland family. Quick access to the Scarbough playground, water play area and the beach excellent as grandchildren are aged 4 and 6 years. Corrianders Indian restaurant fabulous food highly recommend. The Bohemium bakery has good variety of freashly baked artisan bread. Auckland family loved the ham & cheese, chocolate and almond croissants. Check in with Kim easy, directions accurate. So pleased excellent turning area for the vehicle. Thanks for the kale to feed the chickens. We also found the leftover pasta and bread pieces they enjoyed. Excellent place for the variety of ages. Auckland family loved the views and warmth of the house. Several areas in the house where different aged family members could relax. Inspirational glasshouse and vegetable garden.
