My husband and I stayed at Jacky's place for a mini-break and I'm so glad we did. The apartment was clean and spacious, the bed was super comfortable and it felt nice and private from the house upstairs. Jacky and Bill are lovely friendly hosts and pointed us in the right direction for a day trip to Mount Manaia/Whangarei Heads where we hiked the most stunning trail. The kitchen looked perfectly well equipped but we ended up having dinner at the local Thai down the road (yum) and brunch at the cafe in town (also yum). I can't wait to come back and stay in the summer, the little swimming spots looked so inviting even in the cold!
