Fabulous property, which was ideal for us and our two small dogs. The pool was a highlight and great that we could keep the dogs fenced away from it. Great views and privacy. As a indication, other than a quick game of golf we spent the entire time at the house, relaxing...Thanks

We had a fantastic nine days at this property. Whangaroa Harbour is absolutely stunning, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was much larger than we expected, with plenty of space and excellent amenities. The pool was a real highlight. Thank you for sharing your property with us — we look forward to returning again.

Brilliant house to chill out and relax

Awesome house with magical views, after long days fishing and exploring the coast relaxing in the spa was perfect. A little tight for boat trailers to get into the drive but we fitted a 5.5 and 7.3m without trouble. We will be back for sure. Thank you

Beautiful & relaxing harbour and rural views with the luxury of a nicely kept property & house

We love this place. We stayed 1 year ago for only 3 days and we all said, it was not enough. This time we stayed for a week. We like the house & views so much that we hope to come back here yearly for a week. It has everything we need to have an escape from including a heated swimming pool which is nice to dip into after a busy walking/fishing/beach day. My adult son caught many snapper and 1 kingi so I felt spoilt having fish on tap. Whangaroa is a great fishing spot. Property owners are very pleasant and very accommodating. They even checked up on us after the cyclone to ensure we were all ok and the house was alright. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Another brilliant stay !

We loved it so much last year, we decided to bring the family this time, And they loved it just as much as we did! I can't rate this property, and the owners high enough :) Such lovely and easy people to deal with, and very accomidating. Just the perfect spot for a couple OR family get away! Beautiful house, stunning view, gorgeous pool and spa( both got a lot of use) fishing 2 minutes away, and incredible beaches just up the road. We will definitely be back for our third trip!

Fantastc Views from all decks & indoor rooms and House & property excellent

Wow, what a fantastic location. We loved our stay here. The views were outstanding. Feel envious that we can't have this type of lifestyle fulltime. I could easlily live here permanently. The house has exceptional in/out flow, beautifully decorated & exceptionally clean. The pool & spa were a bonus. Wished we had of booked for longer. We will book next year and for longer. Our Property manger/owner is extremely friendly & informed us in advance of all questions I asked without delay. A top rated property. Thank you for having us.
