What a find! We booked Cindy's place for 2 nights in the Bay of Islands, and it was perfect! The loft itself; beautifully decorated, cosy, and practical - with all the amenities you'd need for care-free, relaxing stay. The view from the little balcony and beach-side chairs meant we felt like we had our private little bit of the Bay of Islands - away from the (other) tourists but close enough to enjoy the boat cruises and charming restaurants in Russell. Cindy also taught our first SUP lesson, and we enjoyed the mellow water, New Zealand sun and a sting ray sighting just 5 minutes after having our morning coffee. What a dream. We highly recommend that you pick this place for your stay.
