I had a fabulous time staying in Jan's self contained apartment, that has a lovely verandah looking out onto stunning views of the sea, as well as the garden. Jan's passion for the area shines through and she is extremely helpful and informative with regards to places of interest and things to do. Although the location is a little out of town, it is still close enough to walk. However, Jan is more than happy to run you down to the town, or collect you if needs be. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Jan and exploring the Bay of Islands, there is so much to do, the difficulty is fitting it all in!
