Staying at One Tree Point was the highlight of our trip to NZ. The first floor "in-law" unit (as we would call it in the States) is perfectly designed and very well-equipped - right down to the bathroom toiletries. Russell and Michelle were awesome, wonderfully kind and thoughtful. The location of their house overlooking the Bay is beautiful and our kids even made friends with the neighbors' kids. Definitely need a rental car to get here but it's great to explore nearby hidden gems like Smugglers Cover at Whangerei Heads and see the historic Waitangi Treat Grounds at Bay of Islands. Wish we could've extended our stay to make it farthest north to Cape Reinga but that is alas for another trip. We highly recommend a stay here.
