Highly recommend this paradise of a place!
I booked this Airbnb for my mums birthday as a surprise gift and our (high) expectations were blown away! This was the most perfect place for a holiday and made us leave thinking of a way to move up to Kerikeri! While the pictures are lovely, the place in person is even more spectacular! It felt like we were on our own little island, with a private beach and all! We spend all day swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding, as it was super warm even in April. The pad itself was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and clean! Clearly they have an eye for interior design as it was both aesthetic and charming. Vanessa also had left eggs, milk, marshmallows (for roasting by the fire-put) and a few other nice things! Communication with Vanessa was great, as she was very quick to reply and readily answered any questions we had! She also gave advice on what to see and do around us, and generally made the trip a lot easier and made us feel very welcome! We will definitely be looking to come back here and I will be recommending it to anyone visiting the Bay of Islands.
