Tui's retreat is a lovely, great value place to spend a couple of nights and explore Whangarei/Northland. The property is in a good location, has awesome little walking tracks through the forest, and we even had some oranges off the fruit tree in the garden. Room had a good range of utensils for preparing light meals, but there isn't a kitchen sink so washing up does limit it a little. Overall, we were impressed with the facilities and had a great stay. The cookies and milk were much appreciated, at the brochures for the surrounding area were helpful!
