We have set up the guest accommodation to be self sufficient and independent. It is your own space.
We strive to ensure you have everything you need in order to have a comfortable, relaxing and carefree stay. We are here to answer questions and assist in any way we can, and are always happy to help
Those who like privacy will enjoy it here.

As a member of our quiet community, we invite you to have fun and enjoy your stay, but kindly ask that you respect our neighbors by keeping noise levels low. Please note that this is NOT a party house. You`ll have views of the stream that runs beside the property and hear it in the background as well. We are very well located to anything you`d want to do in Whangarei. It is the perfect base if you are here supporting visiting sports teams, as it is an easy 5 minute stroll to Kensington Park. Also a short walk to the beautiful Sub Tropical Quarry Gardens and Quail Cafe
It would suit 2 couples or a family, however if it`s just you, you`ll be just as happy.

Your best option for transport here is to have your own car or hire one. There`s some nice cafe`s and Kensington Sports Park within easy walking distance. But if you`d like to explore the area further a vehicle would be ideal.

Other things to note:
LAUNDRY: We also have a small cabin available to rent at the rear of the property. While the cabin and your space are entirely separate and private, guests may occupy it during your stay. The washing machine is located in the cabin’s kitchen area and is available when that space is unoccupied - otherwise, we recommend the nearby laundromat for your laundry needs.
- This is a peaceful neighbourhood. Please be respectful of noise.
- Please no shoes in the house.

    Loved our stay here! Very clean and well maintained! Even with 5 adults, we never felt cramped or on top of each other. Set in a beautiful, quiet area. As we were from out of the country, we really appreciated that there was a device set up for USB charging. Hosts always answered questions quickly. An ideal place to stay if you're staying in the area!

    Well-located and comfy place for a short stay. The queen bed was delicious but I wouldn't recommend the sofa beds for adults - they curl up at the ends making it impossible for a tall person to lie straight. Much better for kids. A warm and clean home, didn't get to explore the river and meet the eels which was a shame!

    Excellent communication with Owners, had a long power cut and they provided us with candles so we weren’t left in the dark. Property has everything you need, highly recommend.

    Loved our stay here. Just what I had imagined from the photos. Very clean. Excellent spot with bush and creek as back drop. Great cafe down the road and close to supermarkets and town. Would definately stay here again.

    This apartment was the perfect first stop for us after our long flight from the US. Quiet and well equipped. Easy access to town for an evening meal. Jet lag didn't bother us much so we were happy that it was so close to some great hiking and attractions. Communication with the owner was easy and replies were prompt.
