Was slightly outdated facility - which was completely understandable and was not a big issue to us, but I can see how it could maybe make someone else feel more uncomfortable. Out of high season time some aspects of the cleanliness were maybe overlooked slightly: apartment in basement floor smelled very musty and damp & bedroom curtains were quite moldy, had to air out the rooms the first day quite well. Also found out the last morning that one of the pillow-cases had clearly not been changed after the last guests. The under-side of it had some colourful stains/fingerprints and quite thick residue of something- and wasn't a small stain (food or vomit etc)! But that was already the morning of departure we noticed it so did not matter really anymore because we were completely unaware of it for most of our stay.

Great quiet place with heaps of space for 2 people. Huge fridge was amazing! Good location for all kinds of activities around within 1-2hrs drive radius. Good space for parking, we had two vehicles and a trailer. Really lovely hosts, friendly and helpful. Covered Spa-pool in a pool house with a harbor view was a huge bonus - was great for bad weather days - one of main reasons to book this place when the weather came in and camping was not a good option anymore. Thank you! Will come again if get a chance.

Perhaps a handrail by the steep part of the path down to the unit would be helpful for people who are not so sure-footed.

The location is beautiful with views of Whangaroa Harbour, the owners are lovely, friendly and helpful.

Beautiful location. I stayed here about six years ago so it was nice to return and stay in another room. Would book again!

The toilet was very low and hard to get up from, that's about the only thing I found difficult.

Stunning views of Whangaroa harbour, comfortable facilities, very comfortable bed, altogether very pleased. I was sorry I didn't see the owners before I left as I had to leave early but I thank them for providing such a nice place to stay.

That we only stayed one night. It's a lovely spot.

It was a very comfortable unit with a view over bay and the excellent spa. If you've spent the day bushwalking, the spa is great! We were there out of the school holiday season, and we had it to ourselves (otherwise, there's an arrangement to share between the units). The host is very friendly and suitably relaxed for the small and laid back destination. She also has an eye for design, and there are some nice touches and artwork in the unit. Be aware that it is a small village;there's one place to eat, the Fishing Club, otherwise come prepared to cook, so factor this into your planning. The nearest Four Square's a ten minute drive away in Kaeo, but this is part of exploring this beautiful part of the country.
