There was so much to love about our experience staying with Janice and Ron. (We chose a farmstay because we didn't want to be somewhere which was noisy and downtown). The view was superb, the ambience of the house and garden was lovely, Janice's baking was delicious, both Ron and Janice's hospitality was a real highlight of our holiday. The bed was very comfortable and Janice insisted on fresh towels every day! They were both a marvelous source of information about the Bay of Islands and their anecdotes about life in the area was very interesting. We felt that we left as friends which was special. Thank you Janice and Ron.
