The Rapaura Watergardens are divine and definitely worth visiting on your way to my B&B or after leaving here, enroute to Auckland.

Sacha and his team have created gardens and accommodation that are stunning.

With just over 2 weeks until we reopen, it’s all hands on deck (and bridges) in a final spruce up!

S is for Serenity,
Eating a delicious breakfast slowly.
Silence.
Slowing down.
Savouring memories
Such good sleep.

Book yourself into my B&B and experience the amazing moments of listening to the waves crashing on the beach at night while surrounded by the serenity of the Nikau Palm forest around you.

I have a Nikau palm grove around my B&B and Kererū or Wood pigeons love the seeds.

So good to see these birds around my B&B every day.

Ok … I need to work on my camera work stillness.

Full moons are fabulous.
Frosty mornings and days filled with friendly fun are fantastic.
Thank you and an acknowledgement to photographer and neighbour David Hall from Bayview Valley Lodge, for tonight’s photo.

Every great local has a story 🍻

For The Pour House, it started with a holiday to Hauraki Coromandel, a passion for home brewing, and a garage in Matarangi.

What began as a small-batch hobby has grown into one of the region's favourite spots to enjoy a craft beer, cider or gin, all inspired by the place the Vowles family chose to call home 🫶

This wonderful restaurant is half an hour from our B&B.

The Pour House

Experience the flavours of Hauraki Coromandel at The Pour House in Hahei. Enjoy handcrafted beers, ciders, and gin by the Vowles family, relax in the garden, and soak up the local seaside charm. A must-visit destination for visitors seeking craft, community, and coastal vibes.
