The hosts Grant and Tusala made me very welcome. They were also very helpful in making bookings for a Cape Reinga tour and offering to do drop offs for sightseeing.

It was a very good location, north of the main shopping centre (about 5-7 mins), closer to Waitangi (which is a must to visit) so a little quieter which I enjoyed. Bay Sands is opposite the beach as shown in the listing which was an accurate reflection of the property.

An issue arose which was out of their hands. They did everything possible to assist me for which I was extremely grateful.
