Water and City Lights Studio

Elaine found and booked this place. It was a great choice. Situated under the main house on a battleaxe block, it had great views across Rangataua Bay to Tauranga, completely justifying its name.

There was a small garden with a variety of flowers. Two of the rose bushes were still in bloom, as well as some lillies. Small birds flitted in and out of the shrubs, and I saw a kingfisher in the trees closer to the shore. In the afternoon, with the tide out, wading birds started feeding on the mudflats, and what might have been ducks swam close by.

Sitting quietly looking out over the garden and bay was a very pleasant way to spend an hour resting in the afternoon.Læs mere
