This is THE kiwi experience. An authentic batch, with everything that entails (no internet, water tanks and pumps that need to be operated and just a few meters to walk to the sea). Joe was very attentive, leaving heating blankets on for us upon arrival as the night was announced cold. There are enough heaters to keep the cold out and the beds are very comfy. The view outside the living room is fantastic and everything one might want to do in the Bay of Islands is only a few km away. Everything we needed was there and we had a great time. Thanks Joe!
