We have had an amazing time at Debbies and Mesa's place. The place was even better than in the pictures. The house was very clean, the kitchen was fully equiped, the bathroom and bedroom were very good. The views from the livingroom are wonderfull! Everything is nearby, Kerikeri, the bay of Islands, Waipoua Forest and it's a good place from where you can drive to Cape Reinga.
Debbie and her husband Mesa are the most friendly hosts. We felt very welcome and they could explain everything about the area, the best places to visit and the best things to do in the area. If you are open to learn more about their lives, they are more than happy to show you how they run the place, the cows, their beautiful fruit garden (from which you can pick free fruit) We also have had some very nice New Zealand barbeques! They also respected our privacy. We booked a few extra weeks with them, which was possible and couldn't make us happier! We would definitely recommend this place and we would stay here again!
