Amazing location and fantastic hosts
We were visiting with family and had 8 people staying from children to grandparents. The place was perfect - just enough space for us all and incredible views. Tony and Jane were super friendly and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed and providing tips on local things to do and restaurants. Even though it was the middle of winter, it was warm enough to walk around in T-shirts, and while there was some rain given the time of year, there were plenty of sunny times so we can get out and explore. Highlight was our trip to Cape Reinga and the Te Paki sand dunes. A long day but worth it. Thank you again Tony and Jane for your hospitality!!

Excellent Holiday Stay on the Bay
The home was beautiful and very well maintained, with everything we needed for our 4-week stay. Jane and Tony were incredibly helpful, providing us with restaurant and outing suggestions, and we enjoyed the lovely greeting of freshly baked goodies! We can’t recommend this property highly enough, and look forward to returning in the future!!!

Awesome view
Beautiful property with everything you need. Hosts left beautiful plate of baking which was awesome. A little small for a big group when it’s raining but would be fine in the summer with the outdoor area. Tricky driveway not easy to navigate. Views are stunning. Some of the group walked into Paihia and said it was a great walk. Well worth a visit.
