A stunning location overlooking Whangaroa Harbour. Friendly helpful hosts. Great beaches, fishing and walks close by. Highly recommended, would love to come stay again in this slice of NZ paradise. Personally I preferred staying here over the larger more touristy towns like Paihia, much more relaxed. Lisa and her partner also run a Charter fishing operation (Nautilus), we went out on a half day on the boat and the kids(and us older kids) had a blast. Our Skipper Sam was awesome with the young ones and super keen. One thing to note... the nearest large supermarket is in Kerikeri(30 min drive away), not a bad thing but if you're heading north it pays to stop in here for supplies on the way, we were a bit understocked and had to back track.

Location was quite, peaceful and looking down on Whangaroa Harbour. Lovely deck and outdoor spaces, DVDs available for us and the host Lisa, was friendly, efficient and super nice and helpful. As a bonus we could bring our furchild (dog)

Loved the setting, the double aspect view of the bay from our room, the kitchen facilities and use of outdoor seating. Also great selection of DVDs available for guest use. Once a fellow guest had shown us how to use the TV/DVD (these things a permanent mystery to us) we were away and enjoyed a different film every night. Also great local fish suppers available at the Big fish club and bar down on the waterfront (not sure of its precise name but you can't miss it - it's where all the fishing guys hang out) - literally the best and freshest fish we have ever had.

Very clean and tidy, w good facilities, and all facilities in good working order, inclg BBQ, and video. Beautiful outlook over the water from our corner room. Choice of upstairs or down, for an 85 y old w a recent knee replacement. Happy plants and dogs. Very pleasant manager, Lisa, though I only met her for a short time. Shower easily accessible re small step up over the shower wall, shower handle at waist level and a grip on the wall to help get out of the shower, for older and short people. Insect screens available on some windows for potential insects. Tea pots on outside tables are quirky. Nice, pleasant colour scheme of our unit, and fabrics.
