Jeff's place was one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed. The home was an absolute paradise. It was close enough to Russell and the ferry to Opua to shop, grab meals, and take advantage of excursions - but also secluded enough that we felt extremely comfortable leaving the windows and doors open all day enjoying the Bay of Islands breeze. The scenery is unsurpassed. Jeff's food recommendations and directions (with recommendations on where to stop on the drive up from Auckland) we're also quite amazing. Thank you so much!!
