We had an absolutely brilliant time at the House of Many Faces. From the moment we entered, we were made to feel at home. David and Karen are friendly, warm, welcoming and kind. Highlights of our stay were fresh blueberries every morning for breakfast, access to their vegetable garden, spas every second night, as well as Karen and David's excellent company. We had such a lovely time, and Karen and David both go above and beyond to make you feel settled, welcomed and cared for. Additionally we loved their son Joel's company, and enjoyed much laughter and fun with him. If you are looking for a place to stay in Thornton or near Whakatane, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
