The Smokehouse was the perfect place for our stay in the Bay of Islands. Shelley has converted an old smokehouse (hence the name) into a beautiful, well thought out space for two people. The attention to detail to make this feel like a home is superb. The covered outdoor space/living gives the feel of this space being bigger than described. Shelley is fantastic to communicate with - quick to respond & provided local insights for recommended places to eat, including a great coffee cart on the beach a short walk from the property. This is one of the best Airbnb places we've stayed at (and we've stayed at many around the world). Don't delay booking if The Smokehouse is available, and I hope to stay again myself.
