We had a lovely 4 day stay with Chris. She is a very warm and welcoming host who will make you very comfortable in her home.
The bedroom is quite cosy but the bed is comfortable and we spent most our time when in the house upstairs in the spacious open plan lounge and kitchen area chatting with Chris and generally making ourselves at home. There is a separate fridge for guests so cooking your own meals is no problem.
There was a woofer (willing worker on organic farms) staying at the same time as us and it made for a good dynamic with lots of interesting conversation . . . One of the reasons we love staying in AirBnB properties.
The house itself is a lovely home with beautiful views of the bay and a wonderful new bathroom.
At night you are serenaded to sleep by a combination of cicadas and frogs chorus (from next doors pond) . . . Not an experience I have had before!
The surrounding area is stunning and this a great base to explore some beautiful beaches and countryside and without the tourists you get in the bay of Islands. There are walks a plenty if that rocks your boat as well. (Don’t miss the short but energetic hike up St. John’s rock)
We loved both the house and the area so aim to come back here on our next visit to NZ.
