John’s place is a great base to explore the Doubtful Bay/northland region. Close to shops and the lovely Cooper’s beach.
The place is more spacious than expected, and although there is not a full kitchen, is well stocked with kitchen utensils and John provided breakfast supplies too. There is a lovely patio area to have breakfast or wind down, next to the delicious strawberry patch, which John kindly invited us to make use of!
John was a great host, very accommodating and warm.
We were two friends staying there, so used the separate beds.The only downside was the pull out sofa wasn’t the most comfortable (my friend reports the double bed was very comfortable). John however quickly remedied the situation by providing a blowup double mattress which I used the rest of the stay.
I would highly recommend John’s place as your base in the north.
