It needs to be experienced and embraced. I am filled with peace and joy upon arrival, and melancholy when having to depart. Mike and Andrea are the most amazing hosts: kind, hospitable, friendly, welcoming and full of warmth. Stunning surroundings and the most beautiful cottages, with luxurious amenities, a spa pool and swimming pool overlooking the heads. The gardens and surrounding areas are vibrant and pristine. There is so much to absorb, and I can't wait to return to this slice of paradise. 10/10 ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SHANE Jun 19, 2024 #### Whangārei trip Great stay on a short business trip.

I loved everything about this experience - cottage was clean, modern facilities and absolutely charming. I especially appreciated Mike spending time with us to meet his sheep - so cute! He even gave us pellets so I could feed them. Views from this property were beautiful. Many for a wonderful stay! I so wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fabulous spot for a long weekend away from Auckland. The sea view from the main property is amazing, and the pool / games barn a great place for the kids to be entertained. The hosts are incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We stayed in the Kohinui (family) cottage - 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and heat pumps/AC in every room. The cottages aren't new, but the hosts have done a great job in making sure they feel clean and comfortable. Parua Bay village (with petrol station, bakery, and Four Square) is a short drive away. Ocean Beach is about 10 mins drive, should you want a day boogie-boarding or a dip in the sea. Or you can stay put and relax by the heated pool / hot tub at Kauri Villas with that amazing view. This place is a great find in a less-populated holiday spot, and reasonably priced for what you get - highly recommend! ##### Angela Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrew Dec 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities beautiful property with lovely owners.

First the suite that we stayed in was spacious - 2 bedrooms and a living area. Also the host was so gracious and friendly, and served us a delicious breakfast cooked to order! More importantly we had a chance to get to know how the locals live. And we got a chance to see some sheep, 2 friendly cats, and chickens! The property is a little far from Whangarei, so account for that if you choose to stay here. ##### Ken Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Jul 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Just wonderful - it wouldn't matter if you were travelling as a family or a couple you coul;dn't help but enjoy this property.

A bit more than just your average B&B with friendly service and a very tasty home cooked breakfast. Great views from the dining room over the pool out to Parua Bay. Would love to take the family back in Summer. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### C, Colorado Apr 9, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great B&B property in a beautiful setting, gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings.
