This beach is full of surprises with many walks, caves and locations to swim and surf. Piha also has a beautiful waterfall and some great places to eat. We also run a Local Cultural tour with a Maori Chief. We can show you all the best spots, that most tourists never get to experience along with some history of these lands from the ancestor of the local tribe of Te Kawerau A Maki.

We do still live on the property occupying a room next to the house but it is not connected and do not use any of the house.

We use the driveway for parking and the driveway is also shared with the Neighbour's but this shouldn't bother you either its very large and you will have a designated parking spot for MAX 2 cars.
