Words cannot do this apartment justice. The views are even better than the pictures; it is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly imagine including beach towels and life jackets for the kayaks. Everything you need is there to cook with as you will not want to go out and miss out on those incredible views and the chance to watch the world go by. Kay’s description of amenities is accurate. Wifi very good. Sky Tv, games etc all there to entertain you. Supermarket 5 minutes walk away. Ferry 10 minutes walk. Very quiet - just the lapping of the water on the beach which is 2 minutes away. We stayed for 5 nights over Christmas which was made extra special by receiving a Christmas gift. If we ever come back to the Bay of Islands this is the only place we would book. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
