A 75min drive up north of Auckland where we head out across the water to this magnificent island. Most of the access is gentle around the old homestead and gardens at a Walking Pace 1. Some gentle inclines that are a Walking Pace 2 lead us to some stunning quiet beaches on other side where we will enjoy a picnic lunch.
