Great Place for a Relaxing Stay
Awesome place to experience the beauty of Whangarei Heads. From the magnificent view on top of Mount Manaia to the tranquil view of the tide rolling in and out right outside your door this place has it all! Throw in discreet hosts and a nicely decorated interior and you have real value for money. Loved it and would happily visit again.
