A very private, peaceful home with a stunning view over Whangerai Harbour & Urquhart’s Bay where we listened to kiwis talking to each other at night & watched ships & boats maneuvering around the large sandbar. The screens on the windows, not common in other places we’ve stayed in NZ, were a big bonus! The kitchen was well-equipped for our week’s stay. The location is quite isolated from eateries & shops but very close to lots of hiking areas. We were able to do some stunning hikes very close to home. Elaine & Sarah worked quickly together to help us with a small lock problem. A great place to get away from it all…highly recommended.
