We stayed at Rob's place for 3 nights.
His place was clean and had all the facilities we needed.
When we went to bed, we found our bed to be uncomfortable, so we took the mattress off the bed and slept on the floor. We discovered that the bed base was broken by a previous guest. We brought this to Rob's attention the next day and he replaced the bed the following day.
There are great views overlooking the valley.
It feels like you are in the country here, yet Rob's place is in a good location to all the tourist features on the Bay of Islands and it is in walking distance to the supermarket.
Rob gave me some good tips on places to see in the region.
