This is a well cared for home well stocked with whatever we needed. Fantastic location. Great communication from the owner. We wished our stay was longer and would definitely stay here again
Beautiful house in a great location. Would recommend it to anyone. Leeann the host is very helpful and is on call if needed. Awesome to have the use of kayaks, paddle boards, bikes and fishing equipment.

Thank you for your beautiful review, so pleased you and your family enjoyed the stay. You were fantastic guests!
The accommodation was spacious, beautifully equipped and in immaculate condition. Its location was superb with terrific views over the water. Without being in any way obtrusive, our hosts did everything possible to ensure our comfort and make us feel welcome. We shall certainly hope to make return visits.

Beautiful review thank you. You were fantastic guests and I look forward to seeing you again.
Easy to organise, amazing waterfront location, very comfortable beds, spacious, house was equipped with lots of little extras to make our stay very enjoyable. There wouldn't be many ways to improve on this place. Only issue could be if you had noisy people in the adjoining accommodation below.
Wonderful apartment that was bigger than most peoples houses with beautiful views. Lots of extras for guests in kitchen and dressing gowns too. Leeann our host was wonderful and really helpful and easy prompt contact. Comfortable beds and very clean. Everything we could have wanted. Would stay again next time up that way.

Brilliant guests who communicated well, were respectful of the property and left it in top condition. Great to see guests getting out and about in the area and I appreciated their feedback on local attractions. Would love to see them back one day.
This property has an amazing view of bay from all rooms. Leeann added little amenities like bath salts, luxury body products, coffee, and even ice cream in the freezer! She is an amazing host and we will definitely return and recommend to friends. She has a no shoes policy, which we appreciate because it keeps the house clean. 5 Star!
Our stay was as better than we could have imagined. The apartment is better equipped than any we have experienced. The view is as wonderful as promised and the location is perfect. We were able to, and did, take long walks, long rides on a beautiful bike path, enjoy the paddle boards and take delightful paddles in the kayaks including up the shoe to a mangrove wetland where we saw a dozen white faced herons. And as wonderful as all that was, the kindness and attentiveness of our hostess was beyond compare. She was available to answer questions and provide help but gave us all the privacy we could have wanted. The best stay ever; we look forward to returning.

What a thoughtful and beautiful review. You were both amazing guests and I was so pleased the weather was agreeable enough for you to enjoy everything the apartment and area has to offer. I truly look forward to seeing you again.
Leeann
A fantastic place for our break. So comfortable with amazing views. Leeann was great to deal with at booking and throughout our stay. Thank you so much
Stunning harbour views from every room and the best bed ever!!
Loved our stay in the beautiful upstairs floor of the house which had multiple bedrooms and wonderful views right on the waters edge of boats whizzing by and bird and fish life. The house is elegantly decorated with cosy spots to sit inside and out.
The super king sized bed was amazingly soft and comfortable.
It is only a 5-10 minute drive to Whangarei, which makes it a perfect spot to stay.
Leeann was the most obliging host and we loved the little personal touches on our arrival.
We would highly recommend this lovely home, you wont be disappointed.

Thank you for your wonderful review :-). And thank you for leaving the apartment so clean and tidy. A1 guests and welcome back anytime.
The property was even better than we anticipated. It is very comfortable with many extra touches. It was clean and quite luxurious. Our hosts left us chocolate and a bottle of wine. There was a coffee machine (with coffee) and a plunger and various supplies like breakfast spreads that one doesn't always find in rented accommodation. The hi-fi actually had an attachment for my Ipod (I seldom find this) so we could listen to music. In fact it was a similar model to one we have.
We did find the "cloud" cushioning on our bed too soft but were able to remove it.
The property is a few kilometres' drive from the centre of town but in a spot with beautiful sea views.
A pretty cat which seems to live around the area tried very hard to get into the apartment as we were leaving. A dear little thing.
Altogether Harbour Lane is a credit to the owners. Wer would be more than happy to return.

Working Holiday in Whangarei
Beautiful place, looks just like it does in the listing. We were there for 3 nights and four days and we loved it; stunning views and setting with beautifully set out gardens and decks on every side, birdsong and quiet.
I was not aware until I had booked that there was an apartment immediately below the main apartment or that the owners lived on-site (neither of those things was a problem at all, just a bit of a surprise); perhaps I didn't look closely at the listing. We were mostly there alone.
We asked for privacy, peace and quiet and we got it. Everything was perfect, never met the owner(s) but the place was spotless and they had thought of everything we could have asked for; furniture, amenities, it was all comfortable, modern and stylish. All the rooms were lovely to be in; it was clear that someone had put a lot of thought and care into this home.
The area is remote from Whangarei but not isolated; plenty of little shops etc nearby but not many options for food (especially if you don't drive). For delivery, curry, thai or pizza were the only options but all were decent; coffee was a bit average in the area, the cafe at the airport was best.
All in all, very easy to find (from Auckland), not too far out of town for a weekend/public holiday and a beautiful place to visit. Surprisingly busy for a little sleepy seaside suburb; there was always someone on the water or walking their dog past the house but that didn't affect our enjoyment of the peace and quiet at all and many a happy hour was spent on the balcony.

This is one of the best holiday properties we have stayed in
This is one of the best holiday properties we have stayed in. The apartment was extremely comfortable and very well furnished.
The views from every room across the bay were wonderful.
Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to return and cannot recommend the property highly enough.
