Cicely's lovely house was a cozy home away from home for my husband and me and our friends from the US, who came to Whangarei to visit the Hundertwasser Gallery and explore the Tutukaka coast. We felt at home the moment we entered the spotless, modern and well-equipped kitchen. We especially appreciated the thoughtful extras that Cicely provided, including muesli, bread, homemade jam, milk and butter for our breakfast. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated, and having black-out curtains was an unexpected bonus. We had everything we needed and more, and we'll definitely stay again when returning to Whangarei with overseas guests.
