The room was large and comfortably fitted out with bright retro furniture. Very clean and fitted out with a small well equipped kitchenette. Breakfast was plentiful with a cooked breakfast offered with fruit, cereal and toast. Andy was very helpful and obliging. It’s a very pretty property close to main interest points if you a car.

Very nice room, large space, delicious cooked breakfast, very quiet country location although quite close to the SH1 so there was a bit of road noise but nothing excessive. Beautiful country setting and great views from the room I was in. Friendly host. Only criticism was the room smelt quite musty and it's a little way out from Whangarei town (5-10mins drive) but overall a nice place to stay.

We loved this quaint boutique hotel in an early 20th century house on beautiful grounds. It was clean, cozy, and inviting. Our host Andy welcomed us, was in tune with our timetable to catch a dive boat the next day, and made a great breakfast. It was conveniently located between Whangarei Falls and the dive port of Tutukaka.
