The bush is here - bushwalks offer good exercise; the beaches are here - offering lovely swims and excellent surfing; nearby Titirangi Village is here - offering quaint cafés with lunches, coffees and local delicatessen – and its  Lopdell House offers  plays, concerts, galleries and locally-crafted pottery and jewellery.

And downtown Auckland with its busy waterfront, shops, restaurants and vibrant nightlife is only 35 minutes away.
