Colette's place is an ideal gateway in the Bay of Islands region, and photos don't justify it well enough - the views of the surrounding bays are unique and stunning, the house is stylish and beautiful, and it's only a short drive to Russel and wonderful wineries.
Colette was very welcoming and helpful, she gave a few useful tips on the surroundings and cooked amazing breakfast for us in the morning. We would definitely recommend the place for a stay in the region.
