Hi There, the property was great! We had issues with the wi-fi as we could not access connection. I had noticed some damage outside at the entrance and realised thats why we could not get wifi. It did cause some issues as I couldnt connect the tv either...I'm pretty sure this was damaged before we got there. Other than that, everything was great. We will definitely be booking again.

Very satisfied with our stay. It's a great family friendly property, amazing view and comfortable rooms. Great location that allowed us to head north to cape Reinga and 90 mile beach or head south to Paihia and bay of islands. After we left the property, I realised my kid had lost his brand new ipad at the property. Really grateful the host helped us to find it and send it back quickly. Thanks again!
