5 stars all around for this little beauty. Lisa's house is wonderfully appointed, stylish but also comfortable and cosy, with all the little details catered for an extra special stay. Would have liked to have had longer than our one night to enjoy the deck and garden area. So special to wake up to birdsong and mist on the bushlined hills. Would recommend it for relaxing and kicking back, as well as a great central place for seeing Whangarei and the outer district. Next time we stay we will do some of the local walks. I can't imagine a better AirBNB in Whangarei. We have had several weeks staying in Air BNBs around the South Island recently and this is up there as one of the loveliest we have stayed at. Thanks Lisa.
