Secluded in the hills with mature trees and a peak view of the harbour

Lovely little bach

Very short had a good night sleep

Had a lovely summer stay, completely private, great cooking facilities, and amazing sunset views over the harbour. Only potential downside was with the heat and the western orientation. the cabin gets quite warm of the afternoon/early evening. A fan would be useful to circulate the air.

There were pro's and cons to staying here which was reflected in the affordable price. The pro's were: good communication and directions, all linen supplied, clean, comfortable bed, close to Whangarei, peaceful and stunning views over the harbour. The cons were: navigating the driveway is not for the faint-hearted and I suggest arriving in daylight so you can see, this is a 1-bedroom cabin, running off solar power/tank water, with an ensuite, small kitchen/lounge area and very basic, no TV, wifi or laundry. The water tank was empty when we arrived and although the host tried to get a tanker out, we were left without water overnight until the following morning. Finding alternative accommodation late Friday night on Waitangi weekend was not a viable option, so we stayed. Although I loved the location, I love my small luxuries in life more and will most likely not book this again.
