Reviewed Mar 21, 2026Die Gastgeber waren super nett und brachten uns zur Begrüßung ein frisches selbst gebackenes Brott und Cookies. Aus dem Bett in den sunrise schauen, morgens im ruhigen Meer der Bay of islands schwimmen und anschließend auf der großen Terrasse frühstücken...ein perfekter Start in den Tag. Wir konnten die hauseugeben Kayaks benutzen und abends nach den vielen Aktivitäten im hot tub entspannen und die Sterne beobachten.
Es gab nichts...

Reviewed Mar 24, 2025The spotless house is very nice, well equipped with everything you could possibly need and the views are spectacular!! We had some issues getting down the very steep driveway but thankfully the hosts let us park up top. The location is perfect, feels secluded yet a 10 walk to a little store and food and coffee shop. Our hosts greeted us and even had some lovely bread and cookies waiting for us to enjoy! We felt very welcomed and comfortable. If you are looking for a serene stay with stunning views of the water and sunrises, this is the place to be. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat. It was also equipped with kayaks, but we never used them.
The driveway is very steep so beware if you come driving a big van like we did. A car would be fine.

Reviewed Jan 10, 2025Jane greeted us upon arrival and gave us a thorough tour of the property. A lovely bonus was having kayaks available in the garage. We were also delighted to find homemade bread and cookies waiting for us in the kitchen, along with milk and some Nespresso coffee pods—a thoughtful touch. The kitchen was very well-equipped, leaving nothing to be desired. It had everything you might need for a comfortable stay.

Reviewed Oct 25, 2023Everything! It was clean, the layout was great and facilities were amazing. The kitchen was very well equipped indeed (suggestion - add egg cups!), there was laundry powder and lush towels provided and we even had use of kayaks with life jackets provided. Jane & Tony really thought of everything to make anyone’s stay a fantastic experience, overall couldn’t be faulted.
Absolutely nothing!
