What an amazing place to stay. Lew and Lynda gave us a friendly and warm greeting and settled us in for our 3 nights of relaxing bliss. Such tranquil, peaceful surroundings, in wonderful comfort. We slept with the windows open at night and were treated to the sound of morepork, weka and possibly even kiwi? Handy as a base for exploring the riches that the Bay of Islands has to offer. We would highly recommend staying at the beautiful Ekkant!
