5/5 - Excellent

It feels very relaxing and laid back.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

A quiet place in the off season, but it was just what we needed.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Quite a small place, off the beaten track, more designed for local holiday makers than tourists. If you want more hustle and bustle try Whangamata instead.

Quiet town close to Whangamata but much more peaceful, where you can find a neighbour selling his produce or the kids fishing in the lake #LifeAtExpedia
