Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean as well as common areas. The 2 ladies we interacted with at the front desk (Ava & Debbie) were awesome. I give both of them 5 stars."

Bay of Islands Holiday Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most beautiful stay here with our family of 9. we needed two of the rooms which slept 5 per room. The rooms were next to eachother and when we arrived the lovely host said they had moved the bbqs back so we could easily get to each room via the balcony instead of going out around the front. This was super helpful. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms were as well. Has all the basics you need for cooking, mini fridge, toaster, microwave and jug etc. tv in one room had sky, the other one didn’t but it had Netflix and they both had regular channels. There was good wifi which we could easily access. There is laundry facilities on site, the one for the apartments wasn’t working but they gave me coins to use the other one and it was no trouble at all. The supermarket was a couple of minutes walk away which was super convenient and the beach with a playground just a bit further away. Plenty of blankets, and heaters in the rooms to keep warm and cosy. We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning with a coffee and listening to the birds. It was so peaceful, the location is perfect. The host was super friendly and helpful and so knowledgeable on the area offering great advice on things to do and how to get there. Yes there were a few outdoor bugs in the room here and there but that’s to be expected when you are in the middle of the bush and it wasn’t a bother. Rooms were just as advertised. We really really loved our stay."
