This was an excellent place to stay, and an excellent value. Easy parking, walkable to restaurants, and very friendly and efficient check in. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful little place to stay out of the city with very kind and accommodating owners. Right down the road from a bunch of little shops and restaurants too.

Great resort near a beautiful beach. We were in town visiting friends. The resort was perfect for us. The one bedroom unit allowed us to have the extra space we desired and great common areas. Very nice pool!

House and grounds are wonderful as is the owner Andy. Everything one could need is here. The breakfast was superb. Quiet, peaceful and every amenity taken care of. After a day on the water at Poor Knights this was a welcomed retreat. Dinner prepared optionally or at their suggestion we picked up fabulous fish and chips and ate outside on the patio. Perfect ending to a perfect day Thank you. We will definitely be back!

A quick overnight trip en route to Russell but a lovely place. Super clean and well equipped. Staff were extremely nice and helpful. Beautiful place on the beach with a world class view. Wish we could have stayed longer. Nice restaurants nearby too!

It was the best service ever. No paperwork just walk in the office, he hands ur key to you and walks u to ur room and says have a good night. Thats the way the rest of the world needs to be. Parking was very tight tho so better be a good backer upper and have small car to be able to park because also have to back all the at out the same way u came in.

It's a little bit outside Whangarei, but really I don't know why you would want to stay in the town itself since all the fun locations are closer to the coast. Overall it's a great hotel if you need a place to crash for a couple of nights. The standard rooms are small, but they have everything you need and are quite clean for a motel. The staff is friendly and the main lounge/restaurant area is comfortable and spacious. Can't really go wrong staying here if you don't want luxury.
