Peaceful Miranda area and less than an hour to Auckland Sleeps three

Heron's Rest, our fully self-contained ground level flat is quiet and well located with expansive views and lots of birdsong. Miranda, the Shorebird Centre and the Hauraki Rail Trail are almost at the door as is all the natural beauty of the Seabird Coast. All amenities are 20/25 minutes drive to Ngatea/Thames with Auckland/ Hamilton being just under an hour's drive. The flat has a big kitchen dining area, queen-sized bedroom plus a single bed in the living room. We live upstairs. Smoking is not allowed inside or outside. No loud parties. We have a spray-free garden and encourage biodiversity.
