We liked the cool beachy vibe of the house - it was comfortable and clean, wish we could have stayed longer.

Cute and comfortable house with a great outlook. We loved having outdoor space on both sides, and the front is fully fenced for our dog.We felt very private and it's a handy location to get around Whangarei as well as the Tutukaka Coast.Decorated nicely, a few quirks with our stay were the microwave being at a dangerous height, and a TV connection problem. But Nicole was absolutely brilliant with sorting out the TV for us.
