We had a brief stay at Merril's but would love to come back and stay longer. Nice quiet area, not too far from the town centre, beaches or Whangarei. We also brought two small dogs who were able to roam on the deck. Small breakfast was provided which made our morning so much easier as we needed to leave early to continue our road trip. Merril was great to communicate with and is such a lovely, thoughtful and generous person. Would love to come back again.
