"Great spot, great host that second visit there has always been delightful to stay at so happy to make this a permanent spot for when I need to travel north and spend the night. Neighbouring restaurant was a bit of a let down sadly."

"Really fun venue. Great spot - so peaceful, with lots of wildlife around. The host waa really welcoming and helpful. The house was spacious, warm and well equipped. Would love to stay again."

"We had a beautiful stay, and were so looked after by our host. Walking distance to the beach, and amazing property for the kids to explore. Our Japanese Cedar cabin was such a treat to stay in."

"Stayed here for the second year in a row . Nice and handy to the marina and spotlessly clean as usual . "

"Bruce is a great host, warm, friendly and helpful. The unit is spacious, clean, well equipped for cooking, furniture and linen are good quality. There is a sea view, and it is well located close to the Hokianga entrance, with good walks nearby. Also very close to the excellent local fish and chip/ takeaway."
