Great Place to Stay

Stayed just one night, but really pleased with our choice. Cute place with upstairs/downstairs, two living areas, and a really nice outdoor area. Airport not a problem. Couldn't really hear anything. Would stay again.

Cosy, clean, private and very comfy Loft!

Absolutely beautiful location with the beach just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Loft. All the beds were so comfortable with nice bed linen. Super cleanliness throughout with nice amenities. Our hosts were very nice and friendly. Nice private courtyard with pretty trees. Slept 6 adults easily with room to spare for 2 more. We would stay again. Loved it!

Christmas in Onerahi.

What a lovely place. I stayed with my son we were visiting relatives for Christmas. This comfortable property had everything we needed and the host was very friendly and left us alone unless we asked for something. A beautiful walk around the shore right on your doorstep close to shops an easy drive to Whangarei for lunch a trip to Whangarei falls made for a wonderful time.

Cool, unique accommodation

We loved this cozy, romantic cottage. It is clean, comfortable and well stocked. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Soft towels and wash cloths were appreciated. No laundry on site but not an issue for our short stay. Great value!

Perfect long-weekend base.

This two up, two down apartment was a great place to stay. We used it as a base from which to explore Whangarei and the area. That said, it was also wonderful to watch the rugby on the TV here, rather than the bustle of a bar in town. We were fortunate to encounter that Property Manager for a chat about the history of the environs, which was fascinating, even after reading the wall posters in the dining-room. The Continental Breakfast provided on our first morning was much appreciated.

Family reunion

We rented the Loft for a week for 3 adult members of our family attending a reunion from out of the country. The accommodation was great. Comfortable beds. Lots of hot water. Lots of room to spread out a talk to the wee hours. A lovely private backyard. And the owners are very nice and helpful. It’s a bit far from town so a car is needed but the drive is nice and the parking is free. We would definitely recommend the Loft! Suzanne & Jim

My thanks to Kim who was very accommodating of our large family group at short notice. After a couple of long days and nights it was important to have a comfortable space to return too and rest. The kids enjoyed the novelty of the loft as well.
