What makes this property unique
The Bay of Islands is a destination not a stop on the way. There is so much to do most people stay fot 6-7 nights so they have time to do a boat trip round the Islands and to visit the old whaling ports of Monganui and Russell. There is fishing ,sailing and golf with good beaches to the North. There is much New Zealand History so you should visit Waitangi Treaty house and at least one of the five National Trust houses in the area. The Giant Kauri Trees ,the Kauri Museum and the Whaling Museum are good,
