Not much more can be added to the many 5 star reviews that Collette has gained from her wonderful private abode in the Bay of Isles!
We were treated to a wonderful week of relaxation and mini adventures at this spacious, ‘home away from home’. I’m sure all her guests wish it could be their forever home as nothing is as peaceful as the views from the balcony that are forever changing with the turning of the tides.
There are many ways to relax here and put the clock on island time! Swing in the hammock, swim in the sea (private beach), watch the watercraft, listen to the birdlife (including calling Kiwis), watch some Netflix, read a book or exchange friendly stories with Colette. While a ferry ride away, ($26 return for car, $1pp walking or Russell to Paipaha $6pp) you can take many day trip adventures around the local area that are all within short driving distances. Tips: trip into Keri Keri – walk to Rainbow Falls a must. Twin coast bike ride from Horeke to Opua. Take a tour offered on the bay (we did the R. Tucker Thompson tall ship and enjoyed a sunset meal in Russell.
If heading north of Auckland and have a few days to spend, be sure to visit with Collette.
