This is a five star property in every way.Great location from which to explore The Bay of Islands. Gorgeous views across the water from your balcony. Walking trails from the front door or catch the car ferry, one minute from the house, and then drive on to Russell. Walk ways, cycling tracks so much to do and the most comfortable home to return to and relax.

We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation was exactly as advertised and we loved the outlook and location. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching yachts & the car ferry coming and going. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and we utilised the washer. We would love to visit the area again and stay at this fantastic rental. Hats off to the owners on doing an amazing job on the restoration and creating such a cosy, comfortable environment. We hope to return!
