Relaxing and private hideaway

We loved the incredible view on to water and hills, the privacy, the beautiful deck and the window seat. The property, bedding and towels were clean, the living spaces were well-organised, and the layout suited our party perfectly. The kitchen had everything we needed and the selection on the TV was great. There were a lot of stairs to get to the front door, but the 83-year-old grandmother managed fine. Backing out of the parking space, our car skidded on the gravel a little bit, but nothing to worry about. Thank you for an excellent stay. Excellent communication from the host. Highly recommend this property.

Great little getaway cottage

A great place to stay in the Bay of Islands. Easy to find with good parking. Only a very short drive from lots of things to do. Cottage had everything we needed for our stay, including to do some of our own cooking. We would go back if we were going to holiday in the area again. Thanks

Golf trips to Bay Of Islands

The location is 10 min to Paihia and 20 min to Keri Keri. The balcony has wonderful view of the bay with a great view of the sunrise. The surrounding is peace and quiet. Will be great if hair and body shampoo is provided. We checked in late and have to go back to the town to buy these necessity.

Amazing bach in Bay of islands

This bach was incredible to stay out, location and views were amazing! Short drive to paihia and all the activities, so good to stay out of the busy town, in such a peaceful location, but have it so close. Bach was so well set up, we loved our time here. Paul was an awesome host, and there if we needed anything!

Nice spot in the bush

It was a lovely spot to stay. Our only issues with the place were the lack of aircon, making night time incredibly hot to sleep, and the pointless white curtains that don't block out any light including the street light outside the main bedroom window.

Amoungst the trees with sea views

The house is everything you could possibly desire as accomodation. It has everything you need to be comfortable and its clean and tidy. The location is excellent. Quiet with fabulous views arcross native tree tops, mangroves, inlet and Waitangi bridge. Bird watching is great (the feathered variety) and you witness the comings and going of water traffic and fish jumping. Splendid. Definitely recommend.

3 Day Stay

Tucked out of the way with fantastic views and very peaceful outlook. Nicely presented property that provides a great base to explore. One small criticism would be to upgrade the patio furniture to make the outdoor deck area more welcoming and 'usable'.

Stunning views

Lots of steps to get from the car to the cottage but has excellent views from the window seats. Cottage smelt damp when we entered which did go away after a couple of days. Upstairs small bedroom connecting to toilet needs fixing as hard to open which was mentioned in 2018 by a visitor.

Beautiful view

Really special location- a calming view with almost no sign of human habitation. But a quick drive to paihia, haruru falls, supermarket etc. Perfect for our family of 3 including a three year old for five nights, and we were joined on three of those nights by the grandparents who loved it too.
