I would definetely recommend a stay here! Steve and Ellie are very nice hosts. Steve even picked us up from the bus station, even though we had a 45 minute delay. The place offers everything you need, and has an amazing location with a great view of Whangarei while still within walking distance to the city center. Breakfast with toast and cereal is another plus and if you're a dog lover, their dog Marmite will definetely like some of your attention! If you are ever in Whangarei, this is the place to stay!
