This was a very convenient place to stay to explore the bay of islands. The accommodation was as described and had everything you might need. We were 5 adults and were quite comfortable. There is a lovely coastal walk just down the road and you can walk to Opua one way and Paihia the other, although the Paihia path was shut for repairs when we were there. The damp smell mentioned in the house information did pervade the entire house not just downstairs. Opening all the windows definitely helped but we couldn’t do this during the evening because of bugs being attracted to the lights. We used the dehumidifiers which did collect a lot of water. I think we were unfortunate as we arrived when there had been a lot of rain. A couple of the neighbours were rather noisy during the day but it was very peaceful at nighttime. Having said that it was very reasonably priced. We would have given 5 stars if it hadn’t been for the damp.
