We had a delightful 8 day stay. The place was spotless. Everything was new and of high quality, including the bed and linens. The quality of the location was a pleasant surprise -- with two nice beaches and an outstanding viewing point in between, as well as a nice walking track into town, we would not hesitate to base ourselves here again rather than in central Russell or in Paihia. Rachel and Vaughn provided many thoughtful touches and gave us great tips for our stay. We particularly appreciated the use of their double kayak. We warmly recommend this beautiful home!
