Dan's place in the Bay of Islands was the highlight of our 2 week trip to the North Island of NZ. The position of the place is a bit isolated but only a short drive to Opua or Paihia townships. The place has unparalleled views from most rooms of our "flat". It was set up for 2 couples with 2 ensuited bedrooms so suited us. You could spend the whole day just staring out at the view of the bay. We ended up eating in a number of nights as there was nowhere else to compare for the surroundings
Dan was an excellent host and responsive to every need
Worth trying for a relaxing secluded stay
And did I mention the views?
