This is a lovely place conveniently located for KeriKeri, Paihia and the rest of bay of islands. It’s nicely out of the touristy areas and there are very nice walks available down to the stone store et al.
The place itself is well appointed with a coffee machine (and they left the capsules which is always appreciated!), full size oven, dishwasher. Beautiful pool and delightful gardens surround making it very relaxing.
We enjoyed meeting the pup, and the cats as well, especially as we were missing our pets having been away for a while.
No hesitance in recommending.
