This place is outstanding! We stayed in one of the studios and it was definitely high end- incredibly comfortable with spectacular views to match. The hosts, Chris and Kelvin are delightful people who go out of their way to make your stay fabulous (ask them to book you in for dinner to get the best table at the Duke!) This was so much better than a run of the mill hotel- it was special! The location is amazing and it is such a treat to wake up and walk out onto a stunning beach (or just sit in the hot tub overlooking the stunning views!). We will definitely be back here next time we're in the Bay of Islands.
