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.
