Maria's home offered all the comforts if not more than my own home. My family and I were in awe of her house for the picturesque views we had from the front deck and the sundrenched area the back deck offered in the morning.
Each bedroom was well equipped for the colder weather and offered what most ladies or teenage girls would love, a makeup vanity area in every room (double tick).
In comparison to the cost of the many motel in whangarei, this was by far a cheaper and more accommodating option.
In terms of communication we found Maria to be friendly, helpful, and prompt with responses.
Highly recommend anyone wishing for the comforts of home while on holiday to contact Maria.
