We have had the most amazing experience staying at Colleen's home. She greeted us with a cheery smile and we instantly felt as if we were staying at a home away from home. The house was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and we were provided with warm blankets and clean, fluffy towels. There are two decks to sip a cup of tea in the morning sunrise and a cool drink in the sunset. The house is in a great location, you can explore Whakatane, karawrue, mountains, waterfalls and beautiful walks along the coast. Colleen really made our stay memorable, was a lovely accommodating host and we wish we could have made our stay longer.
