The Boathouse is a little hidden gem and a wonderful place to stay. John’s communication from the start was exceptional and he kept me fully up to date with changing travel conditions due to the bad weather. He met us on arrival, a very warm and friendly greeting with loads of useful local info. He had even stocked the kitchen with plenty of breakfast items. The place was spotless and the bed super comfortable, in-fact, I am going out to buy some bamboo cotton sheets, they were amazing! As described it’s a short walk to town and a shorter walk to the lovely beach, with some great eateries, cafes and Grace O’Malleys Irish Pub. The location is spot-on for exploring this truly beautiful part of New Zealand.
In summary, I haven’t stayed at a better Air BnB - the hosts, location and room were all exceptional. It was the best stay of our multi location 3 week tour of North Island and highly recommended.
Thank you John and Pietr for your warm hospitality.
