Thankyou for the review and the positive comments. I note that this review relates to a stay from almost 4 months ago. There is no issue with musty smell in any of the guest rooms. This could only possibly occur during a period of very wet weather, which possibly could have been the case in November.

Thankyou for your 5* review and glad you enjoyed your stay.Our dinner prices for the standard of the food, are in line with or slightly cheaper than any restaurant of similar quality in Whangarei. I also know you were extremely happy to have the option to not have to go back out in the evening after a long driving day.

Thankyou for your generally positive review. Just for clarity to other guests, the rooms are definitely not musty, this guest arrived late in the evening after 4 days of solid heavy rain. Also, we are not near SH1, we are on the Ngunguru Road, but very well set back from the road, there may be slight road noise occasionally with windows open.

Thanks for the review. I am surprised by the comment regarding the hot water, in the rooms in the old villa part of the property, the hot water does take up to 20 seconds or so to flow through, but I know that the hot water supply is working, and have tested again since seeing your review. I know you left very early so we had no chance to discuss.
