We had a wonderful stay in this fully renovated historic villa and enjoyed views at the tables on both the front and back verandas. Its well set upwith everything you need. The location is perfect and there are lots of options to explore with walks and swims in fabulous beaches. The hosts were great, very responsive to queries and helpful.Highly recommend - one of the best places I’ve stayed in.

Fabulous stay, in a great location at Whangarei Heads, amazing scenery, quiet area at McLeod Bay but lots to do in the wider area. House very clean and comfortable with fabulous views of the bay in front and mountains behind. House had everything you need for a short or longer stay. Lovely touches of eggs and milk on arrival, hosts were very easy and quick to communicate with, great to meet them.
