Where do I start? Kay’s house is a little piece of paradise. The house and the location are stunning - the photos simply don’t do either justice. It was like waking up to a picture postcard everyday. Just breath-taking. The view from the deck takes in the Waitangi Treaty grounds, Russell, Paihia and Opua. Everything is within walking distance - Waitangi and the Paihia wharf (& the passenger ferry to Russell) are only 10 minutes away. The house is set in lush native bush & surrounded by birdsong. We loved being able to see and hear tui, grey warbler, fantail, kakariki, kingfisher and
kereru from the deck. The house had a lovely welcoming feel and is absolutely spotlessly clean. The kitchen is superb and the indoor/outdoor flow in the living areas is fantastic. The beds are super comfortable and the wardrobe space was brilliant. And of course all of this is possible because Kay is such a wonderful, warm & attentive host. We just loved our stay and can’t wait to return in warmer months when we can put the barbecue & kayaks to good use (did I forget to mention the beach is only 50 metres away!!). Thanks so much Kay & all the best for rest of 2020!!!
