Great intro to NZ

For our first two nights in NZ, we were so pleased with this accommodation. It was comfortable, quiet and had a lovely outlook. Theo and Raewyn were friendly hosts who provided us with helpful information to find the place and also info about the region. Very happy overall.

About the host

Hosted by Raewyn Tucker

I was born in the North and Theo in Holland. We both have adult children and 8 grandchildren between us. We both love the sea and never tire of the ever changing scene from our property. There is nothing nicer then coming home from a hard days work and sitting looking out at our changing view.

Why they chose this property

We were very lucky when we decided that we wanted to buy a house together. We had always wanted to live on the Whangarei Harbour but be close to work and Whangarei Township and we found our home.

What makes this property unique

A stones throw from the waters edge and yet close to all necessary amenities. Ample parking. Easy access and close to town. A good selection of bird life to watch.
