Northbase is in the perfect location, 5min walk to the shops and beach and for the passenger ferry to Russell or if you wanted to do a dolphin trip. We were a group of 4 adults and three young children and the bedrooms and ensuites worked perfectly. The large decking area with table and chairs for us to all sit round was perfect when using the BBQ and eating alfresco. The outside shower with hot and cold water was ideal for rinsing feet after coming back from the beach.
The kitchen was well equipped with everything and more you could possibly need and the toiletries provided in all the bathrooms were a nice touch.
Robert was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly stay again if we went back to the BOI and our family living in NZ will book with friends when they go back for a holiday.
