    This was a beautiful property overlooking the Bay of Islands and less than 10 min drive to Paihia where you can find restaurants and activities. Our room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. The host was welcoming and went out of her way to make us feel at home. I definitely recommend staying here.

    5 Stars – A Perfect Weekend Getaway with Breathtaking Views My wife and I had a truly wonderful stay over the weekend. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Glennis, Jagger, and Dave, which set the tone for a relaxing and memorable visit. The room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully maintained—returning to it each day after exploring the region felt like coming home. The property itself is stunning, with breathtaking views that are worth the stay alone. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the covered pool while soaking in the scenery—it was the perfect way to unwind. The thoughtful touches throughout the accommodation and the genuine hospitality made our experience even more special. We highly recommend this boutique hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful escape, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!
