What a lovely place to stay for a few days! Ailza was great with communication, providing excellent directions to get to the house. Such a quiet peaceful spot on the river, felt secluded and private but still close enough to Paihia with lots of restaurants and plenty of things to do around the Bay of Islands. Everything we needed was provided, plus some nice touches like snacks and breakfast things which was much appreciated. The bed up on the mezzanine was very comfortable, but the stairs are very steep so would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues.
