Marsden Cove Canal Haven with Spa Pool

It was lovely and modern with lots of dpecial features. Heater, automatic light, comforable bed, accessible large tv to watch commonwealth games. Lots of snacks and well stocked breakfast food. An all round lovely break away from home.

Loved the little treats provided. Spa pool was perfect spot for star gazing.

It might help to provide a sketch of the 20 minute walk to the cafe that was recommended. If you ask Google maps, you get sent on a less scenic, longer route.

This was my second stay here and it was just as wonderful as the first. The location is extremely handy to restaurants and it is beautiful. The hosts are so lovely and accommodating. I prefer to keep to myself and so they left me to it unless I needed something. I was able to explore all of Marsden Cove and One Tree Point on their e-bike. I had a luxurious spa enjoying the view of the canal. They provide ample breakfast and a few snacks! Plus a Nespresso coffee machine with enough pods to last a lifetime. This is now my go-to place to stay when I come down here to visit friends.

Friendly Warning! The induction stove provided by the property is very powerful! I unfortunately set the smoke alarm off in the middle of the night when I tried to use it!

Breakfast was self help but it had everything you would need for a hot or cold breakfast. The location was excellent right on the waterways

Nothing as they had thought of every home comfort with extras that we haven’t had at any other location we’ve stayed at

Lovely suite cosy and comfortable for a relaxing short stay. Immaculately clean, excellent breakfast provisions.the snacks and treats were much appreciated along with coffee machine and bottles of water. Spa pool made the stay superb. Thank you Donna and Neville

Absolutely nothing

Tidy, clean and relaxing room

Nothing to comment on :)

Fresh Bananas. Awesome 👌

The room was so comfortable and clean, breakfast was delicious, and the spa was great. The hosts also offered their kayaks and bikes which was a great addition if you want something to do! An awesome stay, we would highly recommend!

No complaints from us, though the kitchenette space is quite small so I wouldn’t plan to do too much preparing meals.

Lovely interior. Classy and comfortable. Good host. Everthing I needed for a short stay. Didn't get to try out the spa due to cold weather but could definitely immagine it would be lovely looking out on the canal waterway from it.

This unit was very well maintained, immaculately clean and cosy, in a relaxing environment. Donna and Neville provided a good range of breakfast foods and the snacks were appreciated as well. Unfortunately I didnt meet them due to my commitments while in the area, however my communication with them before and after has been amazing. Thanks for an awesome stay.

Very quiet peace full lovely hosts

Location was great. Easily accessible to restaurants for dinner. Breakfast provisions very good. Enjoyed our stay

clean and modern room.

great value

very clean and tidy friendly host

We only stayed for one night, but the room was excellent and would easily be just as good for an extended stay. The snacks were appreciated and more than expected. Breakfast cereals had a choice with fresh fruit and yoghurt. The position was beautiful with the canal in view. All in all a good place to stay.

No bad points

Einfach super, tolle Lage, tolle Ausstattung, viel Freiraum und ganz tolle Vermieter, vielen Dank an Donna und Neville

We stayed in a beautiful apartment set in a very well‑kept and peaceful environment. The apartment is modern, stylish, and in excellent condition. We especially enjoyed the huge hot tub. The hosts were extremely friendly and helped us a lot during our stay. It was also amazing that we were even provided with e‑bikes free of charge. A big thank you to Donna and Neville — we truly appreciated everything. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Everything was perfect !!!

Luxury appliances, superb bedding, plenty of high-quality food/snacks. We used the kayaks this time. Spa pool is great too.

not staying longer

Fantastisk hus og forplejning

Tutto ,un posto bellissimo ,curato ,pulito ,organizzato da persone professionali e simpatiche ,che ti fanno sentire bevenuti a casa.

C'est génial

Tout est parfait

Exceptionally well cared for and comfortable. Lovely greeting by the hosts, very good attention to detail, spotlessly clean. No reservations about this stay, one of the best we’ve stayed in, would definitely recommend. Thank you 😊

Location is a little out of the way but with a car, should be no problem. Direct surroundings are idyllic.

This place is one of the best Air BnB's we have ever stayed at. Neville and Donna go out of their way to make your stay a top notch experience. So many extra treats and having the use of the spa pool was devine. Only wished we could have stayed longer!

Even the rain couldn't dampen our experience.

Stunning location! Loved the extras they had available, the spa, snacks and yummy soaps and toiletries!

Couldn't fault anything!

Free snacks were a lovely surprise! Comfortable and modern

Wonder stay. Super comfortable and clean.

Everything about the stay was great, zero complaints and high praise for the accommodation and the host

more time to stay another night :)

C'est un très bel appartement dans un endroit calme et élégant. Rien ne manquait pour notre séjour. L'accueil de Donna à été chaleureux et bienveillant.

Rien.

We arrived by yacht and entered the canal through the lock system which was a great experience and then tied up to the owner’s jetty in front of the property. The purpose built BnB was immaculate. The hosts, Neville and Donna were so friendly and helpful. Neville met us at the entry to the canal and guided us through the lock system. A great time and we highly recommend staying here.

Nothing.

It was so clean and comfortable in a beautiful setting. Everything we needed was provided. Bed was super cosy and we had a great sleep. Donna and Neville are very friendly, welcoming hosts. I would totally recommend this accommodation.

Itrequired a few emails tonged a PDF invoice - due to an error on our side

Stylish, light, quiet, well equipped accommodation with lots of snacks & breakfast options. The main residence is located on a canal. Spa is an extra bonus. Highly recommended.

Stunning location lovely hosts wonderful weekend.

this is a beautiful place in Marsden Cove with wonderful Hosts

Everything

Found it on the warm side during the day, but this was probably due to me not using the blinds properly

Beautiful property with great amenities. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, and the room was thoughtfully furnished and comfortable. Would stay again - highly recommend!

Nothing

Kanus, Fahrräder, direkt am Kanal

Zentrale Klimaanlage etwas zu kalt

Modern, spacious, very comfortable, all need catered for. Lovely bathroom, super warm towels. Donna (hostess) was so kind. My wife was poorly and I was out on a birding boat all day. Although check out was 10.00 she took my wife into her own house and let her stay until my boat returned at 16.00. Such kindness is rare and remarkable. Thank you.

No juice included for breakfast (but I'm being picky and only because I don't drink hot drinks).

well stocked kitchen for breakfast and snacks quiet location

Location, quality deco, friendly hosts and excellent breakfast

Wasn’t staying longer

The amenities and facilities were VERY good!! Everything is modern/fresh etc and quite functional, even little touches like automatic lights in bathroom with heated towel rail etc. plus they've got some restaurant menus/recommendations which is super handy.

1) No seperate heating/cooling, so I was cold during the stay but couldn't do anything about it 2) No baggage rack etc, so only place for bag was on the floor which is just not nice/awkward 3) Camera door bell pointing directly at the room door/passage (kind of hmmm), so if you didn't have blinds down it was pointing inside and activated everytime you move past it 4) not great sound deadening between main residence, so you can hear their conversations, which means vice-versa

Very friendly hosts

Beautiful location, very peaceful. Good amenities.

Very welcoming hosts, lovely clean room with attention to detail and nice little touches. The spa was amazing. Really appreciated the snacks and breakfast food.

Nothing!

Lovely hidden gem in a rural, coastal area. Nice accommodation with lovely snack basket and great variety for brekkie. Nice spa and fresh towels and bathroom amenities, etc. Would definitely recommend to whanau and friends thank you for the stay

If you stayed longer, a proper kitchenette and built im hob would be convenient.

Munchies provided made a wonderful, much-appreciated evening snack as well as morning breakfast. Opening up the suite for me (I arrived after dark) was also much appreciated.

Nothing… it was great… thanks!

Lot of available food for breakfast, nice spa pool, very comfortable bed

No sink in bench top, you have to get water from bathroom

It was very well set up with anything you don't even know you need, until you are there and see it!

Well theres not much to say beside everything was superb top noch loved the snacks and how very clean it was

Saying goodbye

The place was really clean, modern, and peaceful. The hosts are amazing and they really take care of their guests.

Nothing. It was an amazing expereince.

Very handy to where I needed to be.

Noisy at times due to being right next to owners living room.

Very clean and comfortable. Loved the Jacuzzi. Friendly Host. Good location.

Hospitality was top-notch, with hosts being incredibly welcoming and attentive. The room was cozy and comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind. Clean and modern. Luxurious toiletries. I also loved the breakfast selection and coffee pods, which were perfect to start the day. We especially appreciated the little extras that were offered relating to our EV. Excellent accommodation. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Wow, what a beautiful place. I booked this place for my mum to stay and the service was amazing, we were greeted apon arrival, they provided delicious breakfast options for her and a very comfortable stay. Thank you, I will be booking again for family stays.

Nothing, this place was amazing! Thank you

We loved this property. The room was lovely and clean and the bed was really comfortable. Being able to soak in the spa after a long drive was wonderful. The snacks and little extras made our stay extra special. Highly recommend!

The cove neighbourhood was spectacular! We tried the Spa at night under the stars on a cold winter night, absolutely amazing. We would definitely go there again!!

Really comfy. The amenities were great. Awesome brekkie

Nothing really, we just had bad weather, that's all

Clean/cmfortable/lovely snacks etc provided.lovely hosts.

Nothing/all very nice will return.

Wow this property 11/10. We are very difficult to please and have traveled a lot both here and overseas. The presentation and attention to detail faultless. A lot of thought has gone in by the owners. We loved it.!!

Absolutely nothing.

Everything you need for a comfortable nights stay. Very generous provisions provided to make yourself breakfast.

Wonderful place to stay. Unfortunately the weather turned into a tropical storm Fortunately we were staying for 3 nights and were well looked after. Beautiful house and very obliging couple Thank you See you next week

lovely clean modern appartment.

Donna and Neville are warm and friendly hosts, quick to communicate and accommodate. What an amazing place, I almost want to keep it a secret. Stunning property, clean and spacious room and bathroom and a conscious dedication to maintaining privacy. The hosts have thought of everything. At one point we realised we forgot sunblock and I literally said to my partner “I bet Donna has put some under the bathroom sink.” Boom! there it was. The value you get from their offering is second to none. E-bikes, kayaks,Spa pool, a folder with helpful information,snacks and plenty of other amenities. The bed is comfortable and I would be surprised if my snores rocked the foundations,I was that comfortable. This the easiest recommendation to make. We hope to stay again.

Simple not applicable.

The accomodation was lovely and peaceful, and the host made it extra special with all the extras that she had catered for, from the extra spa towels, the cookies and chippies to the chocolates on the pillows. The self catered breakfast was yummy and there was plenty of choices too! Thank you very much, we really enjoyed our stay and will stay longer next time.

Excellent hosts with an amazing property, so clean and everything provided and to top it all a lovely comfortable bed! A definite must!

Nothing!

Very quiet location. Super clean and modern room and bathroom. Breakfast was absolute bonus as we were straight off to work the next day.

This place was more than a 10, its a super +++10. The owners are lovely, and they think of everything you need. Perfect

That we didnt book 2 nights 😔.

Yes I had breakfast before leaving for a 10km run in Whangarei. Granola, yogurt and banana. Very lovely start to the morning

Everything

Nothing- it was a 10/10 property

all good

Everything is perfect here

The hosts were wonderful, they set up their bikes and kayak for me to use and even the extra bike for a friend who wasn’t staying to join me. The spa was luxurious, and the snack and breakfast basket was fully stocked. The bathroom was stunning and the shower was heavenly, even the products in the shower and bathroom felt so lux. A beautiful, short walk to the marina cafe and shops was an added bonus.

The only downside was the construction next door, even in the weekend, which I know is completely outside of the owners control. So if you want a sleep in and aren’t a heavy sleeper, keep this in mind as this is a developing area.

So peaceful and private, more than what you would expect from a B & B. Simple touches that really made our stay, Lovely hosts.
