It is absolutely amazing what you can do with a simple oblong structure on a farm. This is a really safe, comfortable and secure place to base your New Zealand holiday from. All the comforts-I was going to say “of home” are here, but Jenny has made it more comfortable than my own home.
Completely self contained and private, a dishwasher and fridge/freezer of the highest standard, modern stove top and oven, microwave, TV (don’t need it, my TV is the outdoors which is in abundance here), fast wifi, plenty of airflow on hot days, aircon, washing machine and dryer.
I was a solo traveller doing a motorbike tour of Northland for two weeks in the hot summer of 2019, and Jenny’s place ticks ALL the boxes required of such a trip. So, not only what I have just mentioned above being absolutely perfect for my sort of travel, there is also undercover parking close to the front door, individual private driveway access to the house and a short two minute walk out the back and down a hill brings you to the properties very own private waterfall and natural swimming hole right on the perennial Puketotara Stream.
I don’t like communal accommodation, and now these days, thanks to Airbnb, you can now secure you’re own private getaways in many unique places. Jenny has taken full advantage of that and established this amazing getaway on a small farm minutes from most of the Bay of Islands attractions. Towns close by are Waipapa, Kerikeri, Paihia, Waitangi, Russell, Opua, and some of the best coastal scenery you’ll ever see is all within hours of here.
