A homely stay

Great view, great coffee, peaceful and yet not far away from the city. Host was like visiting a family member. We had a great time and shared about life. Thanks for saving the wood from the fire which arrived home for my woodturning project, Ralph.

Peaceful spot

Very comfortable house with a lovely outlook and awesome shower. The house is shared with hosts, to be aware of if travelling with family. Ralph made us excellent coffees form his own roast in the morning with interesting chats.

Most excellent!

From the beginning we felt at home. Ralph and Debbie were very friendly and interesting to chat with. Being the first time for us to venture to Whangarei, Ralph & Debbie were very eager to provide us an array of adventurous places to visit. There was exceptional views from a majority of the house and we really enjoyed Ralph's coffee roasting ritual and coffee they both generously made for us on their high end coffee machine. We highly recommend a stay in this gem of a revitalising hideaway.
