Jan's place was gorgeous!! All the amenities you need (and you can help yourself to fresh fruit and veg from Jan's garden) -- You have a fabulous view of the water, and a gorgeous out door patio area to relax and enjoy your breakfast, or a glass of wine. Jan was an absolutely exceptional host, so hospitable, lovely to chat to and made sure we felt right at home, and gave us great local knowledge about what to go and see around the area. Her place is a fantastic place to base yourself to explore New Zealand's beautiful Bay of Islands area.
