The Shepherd Shack is a lovely, secluded little cottage. Even though its very private it is centrally located & many popular sites within the Bay of Islands are only a short drive. Jenny was a very gracious host! Communication was very prompt, check-in was very simple, the cottage was AMAZING (clean, unique, tranquil). The resident flock of sheep were a plus, it was fun giving them a morning snack. We didn't get a chance to visit the watering hole, but the pictures looked amazing. Would recommend this stay 100% and would love to return some day!! Really appreciated the little touches (welcome card, local info, etc) that Jenny provided:) Thank you!!
