Everything about this posting was accurate. My husband and I met Al and CJ upon arrival and they showed us to our bungalow. They had to leave for Auckland but showed us the lay of the land, gave us great tips on what to do and gave us use of their kayaks and stand up paddle boards. Al & CJ are great people, accommodating, brilliant and friendly. They have a beach down a private path from their house (3 min walk). The beach ha beautiful shells and was a great location to start kayaking either to the waterfalls or the bay of Islands. You can see them all from their porch. We even saw dolphins from the shore about 5 min drive from the house.
Our view from the room was unbelievable, it was a dream. We ended up ditching our other plans to stay an extra night because it was such a great location and had great hosts.
We will definitely be coming back to this place to visit with Al & CJ in the future.
