Oasis away from Auckland

Ideal for the long weekend away from Auckland. So much beautiful scenery and wildlife. Great location for some adventuring as well. Thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the spa or on the couch with a spectacular view. And the hosts were awesome, with some fantastic recommendations (topsail is a must do dining experience).

Beautiful aoartmrnt

The apartment is very well equipped, and spotlessly clean. We loved sitting outside with a coffee and watching all the boats on the harbour and the sunsets. The bed is very comfortable and all the linen and towels are good quality. We didnt see the hosts, but had excellent communication before and during our stay, checking to see that we had everything we needed and making sure we were having a great stay. 10/10 recommended, and we'd stay here again for sure.

Absolutely excellent!

My husband and I stayed at this property for two weeks and everything about our stay was excellent. The suite was very clean and well supplied. The neighborhood was great for walking and it was a short drive to the grocery store where we found everything we needed for our stay. The hosts, Leeann and Warwick, were friendly and knowledgeable and a pleasure to meet. We would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in the Whangarei area. It was a great base for our visit to Northland with lots of golf options and interesting day trips.

Perfect long weekend getaway to spoil yourself

Mason Lane Apartments exceeded all our expectations. The location is calm with gorgeous views that can be enjoyed from the deck and from inside the place. Leeann and Warwick have furnished the place incredibly thoughtfully and are downright generous with the amenities, appliances, and conveniences that they made available to us. Leeann was communicative and present and was available to answer any questions. Overall, we had the loveliest long weekend here and would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

This property was exceptional. The view were breathtaking. The property was very clean, tidy and well appointed. The communications with the owner/ manager was great and they were very friendly and welcoming. Nice special touches as well (chocolates). Having stayed at 6 different locations in Northland over 10 days this was the best. What a gem.

The apartment was fresh, clean and modern with a lovely view overlooking the water and Limestone Island. Leeanne had thought of everything and added nice touches - small chocolates, condiments in the cupboard with honey for your tea as well as instant, pod and filter coffee and several different teas plus didn't skimp on the milk. There was also a new toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom should a guest forgot to pack one. Everything was good quality down to the shower gel and hand soap provided.

Best accommodation ever!

Can’t speak highly enough of Leeann and her hospitality! From the first contact of booking to the very last day, Leeann was very accomodating. The house was perfect, the location was beautiful, the house was stocked with everything needed. Loved that there was paddleboards and kayaks to use. Nice and peaceful. Definitely deserving of 5 stars! Thanks for having us enjoyed every moment of our 1st wedding anniversary

About the host

Hosted by Leeann and Warwick

Host profile image
Have spent most of my life in Northland and enjoy travelling around NZ and occasionally overseas. Began hosting part time with one apartment 20 years ago and then added two more apartments 8 years ago turning it into my full time job in 2020. I enjoy making the apartments your home away from home and welcome many repeat guests from all over the world.
When I am not looking after all aspects of the apartments I enjoy getting out on the stunning bush walks we have or a bit of boogie boarding at one of the many beaches in the area.

Why they chose this property

So close to Whangarei CBD but also a world away. The views are incredible whatever the weather and there is always something happening out on the water from yacht races to orca playing. An ideal spot for day trips around the Northland regions.

What makes this property unique

Great walking/cycling area .Fantastic bush walks, stroll to top Whg restaurant. The views! Stunning sunsets and sunrises.
