Wow! What a view from the balcony! It was amazing to arrive in time to see the sun going down over the water. We were met by Jane who showed us around the property, recommended some trips for our short stay, places to eat and walks - all were excellent suggestions. The Loft was incredibly well kitted out - tea, coffee etc, a cold beer on arrival, bathroom lotions, games, books… The morning kayak trip was fitted into a busy itinerary & much enjoyed. Jane kept in regular contact and helped out when a medical visit was required. The most difficult thing about our stay was finding time to relax and enjoy the beautiful property whilst also seeing as much as we could of what the bay of islands has to offer. It was all wonderful!
We enjoyed all the amenities for our summer holiday stay! Even though the weather wasn’t great the home was beautiful and allowed a relaxing stay regardless. Great views, a bookshelf library and quick drives to local activities was excellent. Thank you!
The beach house exceeded our expectations. The house which has a great outlook over a little bay. It is well equipped with a huge deck and plenty of space. We enjoyed wallowing in the spa after swimming to the pontoon and taking a kayak out for a paddle is an extra bonus. The hosts were friendly and helpful during our stay
Beautiful place to spend our summer break. You can tell everything within the house has been very carefully thought about. And nothing could beat sitting out on the deck watching the boats.
Fabulous views. Very clean. Had everything we needed. Has had a makeover since photos were taken and is much nicer than in photos. Loved having the swimming at the end of the drive and being in such a quiet space. Watching the boats all day was so relaxing and fun. Would love to go back.
Stunning apartment/ flat! So well-appointed. Fantastic hosts. Beautiful location, so peaceful. Only the sounds of fantails & bellbirds…
Great start point for the Bay of Islands, with superb views. Thanks so much to Paul & Lee for sharing their stunning property.
