This was my second time staying at The Annex and for the second time it was the perfect place to stay.
As The Annex is beside the main house, your hostess, Eileen, is there but will only interact with you as much as you wish her to. And she is a lovely lady to talk to.
The Annex itself has a view out across the water which can be enjoyed from numerous vantage points.
Inside, fresh towels, beds beautifully ready for the weary traveller, a kitchen with thought put in to the contents and a floor to ceiling bookcase.
All the privacy you need to relax yet only a few minutes from Whangarei. And seriously, a reasonable rate for the privilege of staying here.
I will be trying to book here anytime I am in the area.
