Just wonderful! Everything was great from location to rooms and especially the views. Mark was a fabulous host helping us with roads open, closures due to torrential rain to get back to Auckland.
We couldn’t get out much but what a perfect retreat in inclement weather.

Great view of the Ocean! Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. Please note that there isn’t air conditioning, but there is a fan and with the windows open there is usually a breeze. We loved the accommodations and the owners were very kind and offered recommendations for things to see around the Northland!
