New Zealand apartments

Great for a couples runaway. I especially liked running for an hour on the golf course. The wake we attended was very well catered so being able to run on golf course was welcome.

This place has things you dont realize you need until you see them . Systema glass containers were so handy on outings! It was such a nice place and view was so beautiful.. would definitely be back

Stunning apartment/ flat! So well-appointed. Fantastic hosts. Beautiful location, so peaceful. Only the sounds of fantails & bellbirds… Great start point for the Bay of Islands, with superb views. Thanks so much to Paul & Lee for sharing their stunning property.

Jenny was a lovely host who contacted us by phone before our scheduled stay to share details of the b-n-b. Did we like the A2 milk which they sourced from a nearby farm? Did we have any special dietary requirements for the continental breakfast, and so on. Just generally we had a good chat so that it was a pleasure to meet her in person finally and to be greeted with bowls of fresh fruit from the property, and Jenny's sourdough bread when he say down to breakfast in the morning. We stayed overnight in this nicely outfitted b-n-b to attend a party about 6 km distant at the Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre. We'd recommend this b-n-b and can we also recommend a visit to the shorebird centre. It has hides for viewing a wide range of shorebirds, and in particular does international work to preserve the feeding grounds along the shores of the Yalu River - part Chinese, part North Korean - for the godwits as they journey each year from New Zealand Aotearoa to Alaska to breed. I think Jenny sometimes does voluntary work down at the centre. I met Maarten the day of our departure, - a musician, and we had a good chat around that. Interesting that he works with sound, because perhaps the dominant feeling we took away from this lovely Waitakaruru property was how silent the night was. A quiet boon for suburban Aucklanders . . .

The hosts were absolutely nice and welcoming, the appartement is very beautiful and they put a lot of effort in to make your stay as best as it can be. Best retreat, thank you so much!
