My Father and I stayed with Melissa for 2 nights whilst exploring Whangarei, and her beautiful eco-friendly home along with her warm welcome were the highlight of the trip.

The house is perfectly nestled on the back of the Bream Headlands and her co-operation with the Department of Conservation has meant her backyard is a beautiful and serene escape. On the first night we all enjoyed chatting by the firepit whilst listening to the beautiful sounds of the native Morepork Owl and Kiwi Bird.

You don't need to bring anything with you as Melissa has everything you could need and she is happy to make you a beautiful meal like we received upon our late arrival after a long drive.

There is nothing I can fault about my stay with Melissa and Pete and they are the reason Air BnB is such a fantastic success, so much so it has converted my old man from the unknown to a supportive user of the service. Thanks again Melissa hopefully we'll be back again before the end of the year!
