A delightful, colorful retreat... warm and dry despite the heavy rain. Warm welcome from the Bryan and Wendy. Short walk to the ocean for sunrise, and a short drive to Athenree for hot springs. We had a great time.

Food for the soul
Wendy and Brian are the most fantastic, kind, caring hosts. The Ark is beautifully set up, clean, cozy, peaceful, and has an amazing covered deck for watching the sunset. The beds are very comfortable, and the location is brilliant. Just a quick stroll to the estuary , beach, boat club, or bike path to Waihi Beach. This is a stunning part of the country. Can't wait to return to keep exploring!

Nice batch for a small family. Owners Brian and Wendy are great. The cleanliness is a 10 for me and also had everything in the house that you would need. Lots to do in and around the area. Will visit again soon.
