" % as described. absolutely remote country living only few hours from Auckland .. very friendly Host Martin & his wife with lots of Ships & most importantly very clean property with all the necessary facilities "

"This property was very peaceful and had beautiful views. The decor was lovely however, unfortunately there were a few things still waiting to be fixed at the property which let it down. There is no number on the letterbox and we arrived late at night and had a lot of trouble finding it. I had to dust down cobwebs from ceilings above beds and clean mugs before we could use them. The couch had a lot of sand between the cushions and was not very comfortable. The master bed was extremely soft which...

"The parking lot is very spacious and the garbage is comfortable. Also, there was a Ruakaka stream in front of the garden, so it was good as a healing point. If there is a heat pump, it will be a recommended accommodation for four seasons that I really want to visit even in hot summer and cold winter."

"The third 3 day stay of a 9 day holiday. The bach/chalet was well appointed, to a high standard, and suitable for couples. Set down a small track it is in a quiet location and is a good base to explore Whangarei heads and the adjacent coast. A pleasant and comfortable place for a long weekend."

"After a hard day of racing IRBs this Bach was a great place to relax. "

"Kathryn and Kev are absolutely delightful people, so accommodating. I needed to make change to our booking and they were able to do this without any problem. The house is absolutely beautiful and in a lovely location. The only thing I would change is the eco toilet due to the wind. The house is so well equipped everything you could need is readily available. Thank you for your hospitality we loved our stay in Whangarei "

"Clean, tidy well equiped bach. A little walk to gorgeous beach. Would highly recommend. Wish we had stayed longer."

"What an amazing spot for a few days out of Auckland. Stunning location with beautiful gardens and a private beach. Spacious and lovely home with epic postcard views. We had a wonderful time. Thanks for your hospitality Maureen. "

"Our family of three stayed here for over 3 weeks to be close to family that we were visiting in the area. The home was very comfortable and well equipped and well insulated. Only issue we had was the cleanliness of the kitchen which was quite lacking. Communication with property management was average. The views were fantastic and the area was very nice."
