Very satisfied with our stay. It's a great family friendly property, amazing view and comfortable rooms. Great location that allowed us to head north to cape Reinga and 90 mile beach or head south to Paihia and bay of islands. After we left the property, I realised my kid had lost his brand new ipad at the property. Really grateful the host helped us to find it and send it back quickly. Thanks again!

Home away from home

Super clean, tidy & had everything we needed. It felt like home, had the best sleep over the weekend and we were so warm without needing any form of heating the house was cosy even with the storm overnight, I would stay again in a heart beat. Highly recommend.
