Comfortable, Clean and Spacious House

Beautiful house with all amenities, quiet, and views of the forest and the ocean in the distance. Great bathrooms and an excellent shower, very relaxing. We were able to catch up on sleep from our long travel day to New Zealand with the quiet atmosphere and lots of bedrooms.

Close to Paihia and yet quiet secluded oasis

Lovely stay, enjoyed a relaxing break at this lovely property. The morning birdsong was the highlight along the balcony/ desk with a view that is great. Debbie made the check in/ out process very easy. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Spring getaway in the Bay of Islands

We found the location perfect for visiting all the places we wanted to see. The house was cosy at night when it was cooler and easily aired during the day when it was very warm. The children enjoyed the space and the littler ones were safe on the balcony as it was well fenced.

Wedding Weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Skippers, the property was perfect for our needs, the beds were super comfortable and the house was very well equipped, plenty of parking which allowed for ease of turning our vehicles without having to reverse up the drive. It was also very handy having the double garage so that the cars were "indoors" over night. We had the most spectacular weather so got to enjoy the wonderful deck too. Thank you for helping to make the wedding weekend extra special. :)
