We are your hosts, Rob and Kylie Shore. We have lived in Papakura for most of our lives and have enjoyed raising our four children here. Two of our children have now left home and we have two teenagers. We love the area we live in. Papakura offers great estuary walks, great eateries and lots to do for families in the area. Our property is situated close to the end of a culdesac opposite a tree lined sports park which makes for great entertainment. At times during sports games, street parking can be at a premium and noise levels elevated, however the privately situated Studio42, at the rear of our property, with off street parking, ensures minimal disruption to our guests. We are happy to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
