It is Forty minutes to Kohukohu car ferry to Rawene the same to Ahipara and Ninety Mile Beach. One hour to Ngawha Springs the thermal hot pools.
There is no public transport available in the area. It is a good central point for day travel and sightseeing if you have a car.

We had a wonderful time with Mary. She was very welcoming and it was a joy to spend time with her and hear her stories. The help was mostly in the garden and we enjoyed completing it - especially creating the veg & herb garden. Mary cooked us lots of great meals & her home is very lovely to stay in. I would recommend to anyone :) thank you Mary!

I had a great week at Mary's house. Mary is a very funny person and always has good stories to tell. Every evening you are treated to a delicious meal and she knows how to reward you if she has enjoyed your work. The setting is incredible, a 360° view of nature, mountains and land. Thank you Mary for this week of sharing and exchange.
