“We’ll be back!”
I have rated this property so highly I booked an additional night. See my previous comments regarding the quality of the property. Exceptional value for money in a location that would be hard to beat no matter where you were in the world.

“Delightfully charming”
Delightfully charming accommodation in a stunning location. We stayed here with our two daughters aged 8 and 5 years, who spent many happy hours collecting shells and playing in the little stream in front of the hotel. There's also a playground right next door, which our daughters loved. The location is also great for day trips to the wider Far North, like Cape Reinga and Matauri Bay. Already hoping to come back soon.

We had stayed here before and never got to meet the staff but that was ok. We stayed in the cockel cottage it was comfortable but I think maybe some of the flooring may give way soon as it was soft in some places. Other than that really enjoyed our stay
