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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Nov 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The hosts were warm and welcoming.

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 Verified ### 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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrew Dec 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities beautiful property with lovely owners.

Enjoy! ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Aug 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Jewel of Whangarei Heads This is a beautiful gem nestle among the lush bush on top of a little hideaway hill providing a near 360 degree view of the surrounding including the tranquil water in the distance. I have been visiting Whangarei for the good part of the past 40 years and this one tops the list of charm, serenity and top class hospitality from the hosts Andrea and Mike. The breakfast provided by the IT savvy part time chef Mike was just perfect. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/44C6716AEEF7F14D3069A070B024EBDAC3B451BF1660371428812.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0F1682AB8F36670237A8E347E8935C9C126FB59E1660371428869.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8A673116CD1FC64442EC99D7A5BCAFF30931A1FA1660371429048.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Feb 20, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was perfect.

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 Verified ### 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 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Maple Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Wanaka-Hotels-Maple-Lodge.h1862628.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakefront Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Lakefront-Luxury.h37329794.Hotel-Information) > - [The Waterlily Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Hotels-The-Waterlily-Gardens.h21518126.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Kaikoura-Waterfront-Apartments.h46121792.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > - [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > - [Sennen House](https://www.expedia.ca/Picton-Hotels-Sennen-House.h7120592.Hotel-Information) > - [Discovery Countrytime Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Omarama-Hotels-Discovery-Countrytime-Hotel.h1145773.Hotel-Information) > - [Absolute Bliss](https://www.expedia.ca/Paihia-Hotels-Absolute-Bliss.h9626254.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > - [The Fern & Thistle Luxury Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Benhar-Hotels-The-Fern-Thistle-Accommodation.h55531272.Hotel-Information) > - [Arcadia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Russell-Hotels-Arcadia-Lodge.h9626026.Hotel-Information) > - [Te Anau Central Backpackers](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Central-Backpackers.h84134490.Hotel-Information) > - [Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Mt-Cook-View-Motel.h7275200.Hotel-Information) > - [Distinction Luxmore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Distinction-Luxmore-Hotel.h519248.Hotel-Information) > - [The Reservation B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Gore-Hotels-The-Reservation.h9679423.Hotel-Information) > - [Westwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Westwood-Lodge.h1030417.Hotel-Information) > - [Sundowner Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Greymouth-Hotels-Sundowner-Motel.h19166307.Hotel-Information) > - [Ribbonwood Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheviot-Hotels-Ribbonwood-Country-House.h15876059.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeview Colonial Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Colonial-Village-Motel.h11453583.Hotel-Information) > - [Parklands Motorlodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Parklands-Motorlodge.h918774.Hotel-Information) > - [Waitomo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Kuiti-Hotels-Waitomo-Lodge.h72941486.Hotel-Information) > - [Acacia Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mangonui-Hotels-Acacia-Lodge-Motel.h2600471.Hotel-Information) > - [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > - [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakes Lodge Okataina](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Okataina-Hotels-Lakes-Lodge-Okataina.h88669411.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverside Homestead Waitangi](https://www.expedia.ca/Haruru-Hotels-Riverside-Homestead-Waitangi.h78742745.Hotel-Information) > - [Carrick Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Carrick-Lodge-Motel.h9626119.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information)
