Sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the deck and watching the long views of the Bay of Islands harbor made this an outstanding accommodation. The bungalow was cozy and perfect for a romantic getaway. Artful decor and gardens add a special touch you won’t find in a hotel. We enjoyed the luxury of the heated towel bar, and having a kitchenette gave us the flexibility to fix meals without needing to go to restaurants. Location was excellent for a short drive to Paihia, where we enjoyed boat ride excursions. Recommend driving to the Puketi Kauri Nature Trail for a hike in an ancient forest. For the price, this was an excellent value and memorable stay.
