Home from home.....plus water views!

What a find! The property and accommodation are in a beautiful location. The place is very well equipped and functional. The deck area in front of the place is the most amazing spot - table and chairs and umbrella - a place to watch the sun set and to gaze out at the water and the Whangarei heads. Thanks for a great stay.

Great spot & Excellent hosts

The accommodation was exactly as described and pictured - probably better than pictured - and exactly what we wanted. A great waterside spot and the apartment was super clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. The owners are super friendly and helpful. Would happily recommend and visit again. Thanks for a great stay.

This is a gorgeous property, right on the water & with high end furnishings & bedding. The hosts are very friendly & helpful and we loved visits from their cat Bonnie too! If we didn’t live on the other side of the world we’d be coming back every few weeks we loved it so much!

A big thank you to our hosts, Russell and Michelle for a very warm welcome plus an anniversary shout! This bach is exceptional value, with beautiful view, comfortable layout, and everything you could wish for in the kitchen. It's handy to a couple of good eateries too.
