About the host
Hosted by Robert Cross
After a long-time association with Northland as our preferred holiday destination, we decided it was time to move north in 2016. We reconstructed 30 School Road as North Base, purpose built holiday home accommodation for groups of all sizes, from couples seeking a quiet time away to families and groups visiting the Bay of Islands for weddings and other events.
Why they chose this property
The house at 30 School Road was in need of a rebuild when we purchased, the location was perfect for what we had in mind: elevated with a view over town to the Bay and beyond, north facing and sheltered. We recognised potential in the house as holiday accommodation, even though we had to tear most of it down and start again. Today our dreams and visions have been realised and in our first four years of operation we have welcomed visitors from all over New Zealand and internationally.
What makes this property unique
Views, proximity to town and central to all the Bay of Islands and Northland have to offer, excellent facilities, private setting. north facing and so sheltered from southerly and easterly winds.
