Lynne and Denis are attentive and charming hosts. Little extras in the fridge on arrival, very comfortable furniture and bed, and I appreciated the fast broadband and easy-to-use access to Netflix. The location is particularly good for anyone wanting to explore the Bay of Islands as it is near both Paihia/Russell and Kerikeri. Newcomers to the area may not appreciate there are some significant distances between points of interest. The loft is helpfully located from that perspective.
