Lil's place in Whangarei Heads is such a gem! The view of Mount Manaia from the apartment is just spectacular. The unit was clean and spacious and had all the kitchen amenities anyone would need for even a long stay. We arrived pretty late (close to midnight) but Lil still greeted us when we arrived to show us around and to give us information about the area. We had a full day of hiking planned the following day and Lil graciously offered to drive us to the Ocean Beach carpark so that we only have to hike the Te Whara track one way. Wish we had more time to spend at Lil's place and Whangarei Heads but if we ever visit the area again we will not hesitate to book Lil's place again!
