Spectacular 180 degree views over the ocean and coastline, a beautiful modern home, fantastic kitchen, fast & reliable internet, a great spa, and all the wonderful activities of the Bay of Islands at your doorstep.
We stayed three nights - it's 30 minutes to Russell, and an hour to Paihia. We particularly enjoyed stargazing while in the spa pool at night (no light pollution!), and waking up to the most incredibly sunrises every morning.
If anything, I almost wish we hadn't had as many activities planned, as we could have easily enjoyed more time hanging out at the place and enjoying the vista from the deck.
The place was very clean and tidy, and all the amenities were there to make our stay very comfortable. Bill was great with communication before our booking, and Kelly (property manager) was fantastic at helping us get into the property and ensuring we were happy with our stay.
We will definitely be looking to come back in the summer to make full use of the kayaks and the beach at the bottom of the driveway!
