We are a family of four and really loved our stay at Ian's house. The photos do not do justice to the place- you get two spacious bedrooms and a large living space. This was perfect for us and a great relief after being packed in a tiny room in Paihia for which we paid the same price. There is also a huge garden and outdoor sitting area. The location is perfect- 20 minutes to Kaitaia and about the same to the beaches of Karikari Peninsula. Ian is a great host, we really enjoyed chatting with him. Many thanks Ian, we will be back!
