    Muffled traffic noise from road was only downside to our stay. Otherwise, it was perfect. Definitely recommended

    Jennie and Tony were kind and generous hosts. Jennie shared so many tips for where to go locally and across Northlands. Our room had a little kitchen and sitting area which made it better than most B and Bs. The shower was hot and strong. The bed was comfortable.

    Jennie was an amazing host! The air b n b is beautiful and her hospitality is second to none. If you’re thinking about staying in this area I don’t think you’ll find a better welcome. The breakfast is also so plentiful and Jennie makes so much of an effort to make guests feel welcome and have a good stay.

    Whangarei is a small town - you should keep in mind that most of the places to have a dinner close pretty early, and you are at least half an hour away from the town center if you prefer to walk.

    A really great and beautiful B&B with all necessary stuff you might need. The hosts were super-kind, they also gave us very useful suggestions for activities. The breakfast contents were discussed before our arrival. The room had clear instructions for almost everything that we might use.

    Everything was perfect!

    Excellent basic delicious breakfast. Awesome coffee. Nice table and place settings to enjoy it. Jennie will even fix it “to go” for you if you have an early morning tour. Jennie and Tony are the perfect combination of friendly, helpful, accommodating while giving you privacy when desired. My father passed away while I was there and they were so generously compassionate, forgiving and understanding my lack of participation in their delightful story telling. I really can’t think of a better place to have been at that time. They also have gorgeous art and gardens to enjoy.
