Warkworth lifestyle farm with pool, easy access to towns, beaches, walks

10/10 Excellent
"It was a great first-time-trip to the Warkworth township and Matakana area, for the family. We were impressed by the friendlyness of Lisa and Steve, when we had check-in. We had a little problem with the door lock seemed stuck. We asked for help and Steve helped us open the door eventually. The property is basically the next-close-to-home for us. It has most of the amenities ready and very sunny rooms. They kids love the free wifi (of course) but did not have chance to try the swimming pool, as it was a cold day. The hosts prepared some freshly harvested fruits for us, plus milk and drinkable water in the fridge, which was very nice. It would be great if we could have a box of tissue at the room which can be handy. The property is very close to the Warkworth town center, also easy to drive to Snells beach. We would say it is a good value for money!"
