STAY HERE! Lana is the best! Seriously, the best! We arrived at night, in the dark, and were greeted with hugs from Lana. And it only got better from there. We loved Lana, her home, and the Bay of Islands so much that we chose to stay an additional night. The guest space is perfection and in a beautiful city. Her home is very clean and easy to find. It’s a short walk to the harbor and restaurants, and a quick ferry ride across to Russell. Lana goes above and beyond to think of every comfort and provide her guests with awesome tips. She even gave us a grocery discount card and a pre-stamped postcard with pictures she’d taken. If you are looking to stay at the Bay of Islands, stay HERE!!
