There cannot be a much better or beautiful location than this place. It is so magical to see the great mount manaia right from the backyard. Eileen and John are amazing hosts. They waited for us as we arrived late at night and treated us with such great hospitality, sharing their local knowledge of the area. It was a pleasure to stay at this beautiful and peaceful place. The beds were comfy and the room was clean and tidy. Highly recommended to anyone traveling to Whangarei heads. Cheers.
