My wife and I were due to stay in Paihia and on the way couldn't get to our accommodation due to severe weather and road closures, so we decided to drive to Whangarei late afternoon without a place to stay. At such short notice we booked Angelika's place an hour before checking in, she understood our situation and didn't hesitate to arrange/prepare the accomodation for us urgently. Place is a fantastic surprise after walking in and has great amenities, facilities, deck and garden views. It is very comfortable for 2 people, can easily have 3 stay there also. Only a five minute drive to town. Driveway is bit tricky as very steep it is advisable to park on street there is plenty of street parking and then you can walk down.
