Amazing views, including from the large main bedroom. All the amenities were great, and we received a few nice touches/thoughtful extras when we arrived, which was above and beyond what was expected.
Gary was an excellent host, and was available to help on local information, or give us a lift to special spots if we needed. He offered to take us out on his yacht (for free), but due to the age of our kids we didn't up going. A great bonus though if you love to sail.
Gary was always available if we needed help but also respected our privacy as a family.
We were close to a local supermarket and the car ferry to head over to Russell, or a short drive to Paihia. We really enjoyed our stay, in fact so much, that we stayed an extra night to continue to soak up the views and relax in this beautiful part of the world.
