This is the jewel in the crown of Whangarei harbour. The view is perfect. The sunsets were incredibly beautiful! The peace and serenity here is amazing and the simplicity and beauty of this bach fits perfectly into the surroundings. We loved eating breakfast looking out at the water; we loved reading on the front porch; we loved relaxing in the beautifully comfortable chairs down by the water; we loved sitting in the sun on the back steps near the banana palms. Highly recommended! As noted the steps and path down from the car park are steep, so be prepared but there is a good sturdy handrail all the way. Follow instructions and you'll have no problem. The bach was spotlessly clean, everything was fresh and inviting. There's a full-size fridge as well, which we found very helpful. We visited in winter (August). We both feel the cold but found the little heater provided to be just what was needed, it kept the place toasty!
