We were passing through Whangarei and needed somewhere to stay at short notice. Stephen and Ellie responded to our request quickly and Ellir met us at the door asshe was heading to work. Ellie gave us a quick tour and gave us info on getting to the city and gave us the keys. It couldn't have been smoother. The house is walking distance to the CBD and has great views over the city so there is a bit of a hill to climb if walking. The bedroom and bathroom are clean and tidy and the bed is very comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here if in Whangarei.
