Thank you for your comments on our room - we do try very hard to make this a restful and peaceful environment. The price you mention is for two nights of course and we believe reflects the nature of our private location and extensive grounds, and all the home-made elements of our breakfasts - comparing more than favourably with staying in Auckland. The whole suite of Bay of Islands activities opens up to you, but it is essential to book these in advance if you are to engage with them - perhaps another time we can do this for you, as we did suggest. Best wishes, Michael

Hi Ryan - I guess the secret is now out! We had Champagne on ice just in case, but guessing upon checkout that the question had not yet been popped, nor was the cork. Come back for the wedding or honeymoon and we can fix that - with our compliments!
