Loved our stay here, great walkable location! Having FOUR bathrooms was lovely for our group, patio was delightful to enjoy and morning coffee or afternoon glass. Only small issue we found was that the air conditioner didn’t cool the home very well. It’s tucked into a back corner that did not circulate throughout the home. ##### Jessica E.

The only note I have is that it’s not super clear which front entrance is which (the home is split in to 2 rentals), so we almost walked in to the wrong home. Otherwise, wonderful stay and lovely hosts! ##### Emmy P.

So close to town and has everything you need to relax and enjoy the sun. We filled out the four bedrooms with our group of 9\. Perfect for our extended family to stay together. Big common area with longue/dinning/kitchen right by the deck. Three of the bedrooms had their own bathrooms which was great. And when we needed some extra towels, just texted Robert and we got them quick. Perfect base camp for us to go visit friends up in Kerikeri and take the car ferry over to Russel.
