We really enjoyed our stay and everything met or exceeded our expectations! The patio wraps around the house and gave incredible views as promised! We found our hosts to be incredibly friendly, honest, and hospitable! I would recommend staying here if your in Whangarei, we really enjoyed our Thai dinner at the grand hotel in town, and the hike around the falls and abbeys caves all within 10 minutes of their house. Will definitely be back on our next trip.
