Quirky place, amazing value in an excellent location to explore the Karikari peninsular and other parts of Northland. We only stayed one night to break up our camping trip and Ian's place was a perfect find. Great facilities, huge bathroom, nice little kitchen and loads of space indoors and out. The gardens are beautiful too! The guest area is very private and quiet - we felt like we had the whole house to ourselves. Ian is a wealth of knowledge for the area, we only wish we had a bit more time to stay. Make sure you buy a jar of honey on the way out!
