We used Vladimir's place as a base for visiting friends in Kaipara Flats/Warkworth and for doing a couple 4-day trips (while maintaining this place also). The location was great, the bed was very comfortable, and the shower had great hot water and water pressure. The kitchen supplies were very helpful, and the full size refrigerator was a bonus! Vladimir and Natalia were both very friendly and welcoming, showing us around the property and introducing us to their delightful dog, Mukhtar. With expectations set appropriately, this place is a great value for the price. Thank you, Vladimir, Natalia, and Mukhtar, for hosting us!
