Great resort near a beautiful beach. We were in town visiting friends. The resort was perfect for us. The one bedroom unit allowed us to have the extra space we desired and great common areas. Very nice pool!

Great B&B property in a beautiful setting, gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings. Breakfast was wonderful every morning and Pauline offered valuable information about local sights and restaurants. Thanks for a lovely stay!

This was an excellent place to stay, and an excellent value. Easy parking, walkable to restaurants, and very friendly and efficient check in. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful little place to stay out of the city with very kind and accommodating owners. Right down the road from a bunch of little shops and restaurants too.

House and grounds are wonderful as is the owner Andy. Everything one could need is here. The breakfast was superb. Quiet, peaceful and every amenity taken care of. After a day on the water at Poor Knights this was a welcomed retreat. Dinner prepared optionally or at their suggestion we picked up fabulous fish and chips and ate outside on the patio. Perfect ending to a perfect day Thank you. We will definitely be back!

It was the best service ever. No paperwork just walk in the office, he hands ur key to you and walks u to ur room and says have a good night. Thats the way the rest of the world needs to be. Parking was very tight tho so better be a good backer upper and have small car to be able to park because also have to back all the at out the same way u came in.

It's a little bit outside Whangarei, but really I don't know why you would want to stay in the town itself since all the fun locations are closer to the coast. Overall it's a great hotel if you need a place to crash for a couple of nights. The standard rooms are small, but they have everything you need and are quite clean for a motel. The staff is friendly and the main lounge/restaurant area is comfortable and spacious. Can't really go wrong staying here if you don't want luxury.

A fun experience - Kathy is incredibly nice and interesting to talk to. The property isn’t what you see in the photos as they are working on it. Expect more of a farmhouse stay with full kitchen and family room area. It is an operating small farm environment outside. Incredible views from the deck or lawn. If you are staying in the 1 bedroom, it appears you can expect to share a bathroom with whoever has the rest of the house!

Staff was very welcoming and helpful! Room was very clean and felt very comfortable. Love the privacy and the feeling of being in nature. Highly recommended staying here.
