We are easier to find than many suburban addresses and the drive here is a pleasant excursion just outside city limits. The property is situated on the northern outskirts of Tauranga, 5km from Bethlehem. Allow 12 minutes travel time from Cameron Road/15th Ave intersection via the expressway - in off peak traffic.

Turn into Wairoa Road which runs by true left bank of the Wairoa river - by leaving SH2, on the northern side of Bethlehem. If traveling north from Bethlehem in the direction of Katikati/Waihi/Auckland, turn left immediately after crossing the Wairoa River bridge. Turn right if traveling towards Tauranga from Katikati (it is safer to turn left just before the bridge to swing under the bridge and avoid the right turn into on-coming traffic).

149 Crawford Road is 3.8km from the Wairoa river bridge. After the Wairoa road straights, Crawford road is sign posted as a natural extension of Wairoa road and winds up the hill (do not descend Wairoa road toward the river).

The house is a distinctive, century old, modified, white NZ villa - visible from about 0.5km away, to the left of your approach, atop a small rise. The property is clearly marked by the name “Wynona”, the number 149 and my name, at the bottom of a steep concrete drive. Do not be put off by the drive – engage low gear and come on up, steadily. Proceed to the top of the drive where the car parking and turning are ample.

Follow the brick path to enter the house by the front door facing the drive, up three steps. If you need aids to walk please phone to discuss access - there is no wheel chair access (in these circumstances the neurology clinic at Tauranga hospital may be more suitable).
