This is a lovely place to spend time in the Whangarei area. Jan and Marg's place is cozy and comfortable. It's bright and airy, with a lovely view out across the marina to Parua Bay. The apartment is well laid out, with an agreeable open-plan living room and kitchen. The kitchen is well-equipped and well laid out, making meal prep easy and efficient. The main bedroom is snug but pleasant, and the bed is quite comfortable. The property is large and open, with lovely landscaping, and the whole place, inside and out, is well maintained. The swimming pool is very nice, and worth some sunning and a nice swim in warmer weather. Marg and Jan's place is well situated, with Whangarei an easy twenty-minute drive away, a lovely tavern within easy walking distance from the house, and all the beautiful scenery and sites of the Whangarei area within reasonable driving distance. Marg and Jan are wonderful hosts, hospitable and very responsive to their guests' needs. Highly recommend! We would love to go back.
