Clean, stunning views, comfortable, convenient and accomodating
I stayed for three nights here at this beautiful location. It was impressively clean on arrival. The beds and linen were completely comfortable and the couch is a lazyboy type! I was glad to have found an international plug, robes to wear and a comprehensive folder of all there is to do in Ahipara and Kaitaia. Having Sky was an added bonus along with the fantastic bbq on the deck which surrounds the apartment. I would definitely stay again with friends/family or myself.
Excellent value for everything you would want and need in a holiday home. Thank you for the stay!!
