The views were as stated, looking at the bay of islands, and the local birds kept us amused with their visits to the flax plants and singing merrily. Good location to be accessible for the ferries, but still remain quiet and peaceful. Probably not suitable for more than 2 or 3 nights, as there are no laundry facilities, and it is very much living out of your suitcase or rucksack. We were surprised/disappointed, at the limited supply of coffee sachets, not enough for one cup per day for each of us, despite there being ample tea bags? Our other negative, was the shedding from the towels, not only were the bathroom surfaces covered in a layer, so were our bodies, and the towels were brown, so a little unpleasant. Bed linen crisp and clean, and a comfortable mattress. A big plus was the powerful shower, just be aware of the slippery shower tray. It would also be beneficial to have a microwaveable bowl to use, in order to heat food?

Fantastic View and Place

We loved our stay - the cabin is beautifully decorated with everything you need - including great bedside lights. Away from the crazy bustle of the town. The view was absolutely stunning - both of the Bay of Islands and the bush. Even got visited by a Morepork one night :). Loved it here - would highly recommend.
