Great area for a few hikes. 10 mins drive away from local grocery shop, 20mins from mall, 30 mins to Hamilton CBD, and 1.5 hr drive to Auckland.
For a great surf beach, we're 45mins away from world renowned Raglan surf beach.
We're also not too far away from places like Rotorua and Tauranga - both places a doable day trip.
