Leeann was amazing at communicating and super friendly. She made the process super easy and was happy to give advice when needed. House itself was beautiful, had all the amenities needed and more, and amazing equipment to explore the water around the home all just in the garage. We all loved our stay so much and can't wait to visit again. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking to have a base to explore Northland.

Thank you for such an amazing review Deanna. You are most welcome back as you were brilliant guests and you are to be commended in being the lead person for a group of 10. I wasn't able to make any comments on the review I submitted for you - could only rate categories with stars and you were 5 star in every category.
Leeann
Leeann and Warwick made our family of six feel very welcome and were exceptional hosts. The beachside property meant we got to see leaping fish, passing boats, and golden light across the harbour. The kids were a bit shocked to learn the internet wasn’t as good as they’re used to, but this meant more games and family time, not to mention the kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes. Where else can you easily paddle out to an island? We had driven through Whangarei countless times, but this was the first time we explored this magical part of NZ. We will definitely be back.

Thanks for your fantastic review and we are pleased the property hit the spot for your family. I have rebooted the modem after discovering myself the internet wasn’t up to speed but it appears it was a blessing for some quality family time. We look forward to seeing you again sometime- we appreciated how clean and tidy you left the property.
Thanks again.

HARBOUR APARTMENTS
Kia ora Leeann, It was a pleasure to meet you and a special treat to spend six nights in your ātaahua Harbour & Beach lane properties. They were the perfect fit for our little whānau. Leeann is exceptionally gracious, generous, and is definitely "the hostess with the mostest" Leeann went above and beyond in providing great hospitality. Harbour and Beach lane were very well maintained and had everything we needed and some. Leeann and Warwick are premium hosts and it shows when you see all the things around the property that you don't know you need until you think about it :) These properties are in a peaceful and stunning location and our front yard was the ocean. Being able to watch every sunrise from the comfort of my bed and balcony was also pretty special. Leeann was very responsive to all my messages and was extremely accomodating. We sincerely appreciated all that Leeann did to make our short stay wonderful. My father in-law relies on his wheelchair and Harbour lane was perfect. Pa could move around independently and had his own bedroom right next door to ours. Harbour lane has 15 stairs but they are nice and wide. Fortunately our strong iramutu had no problems lifting Pa up and down the stairs as we all gathered together, eating, playing board games, watching tennis and watching the beautiful sunrises. We did day trips to Te Rerenga Wairua, Dargaville, Kai Iwi Lakes, Omanaia, Wainui Bay and Te Tii. We would love to stay again when we are back visiting the Mighty Kaipara
Have spent most of my life in Northland and enjoy travelling around NZ and occasionally overseas. Began hosting part time with one apartment 20 years ago and then added two more apartments 8 years ago turning it into my full time job in 2020. I enjoy making the apartments your home away from home and welcome many repeat guests from all over the world. When I am not looking after all aspects of the apartments I enjoy getting out on the stunning bush walks we have or a bit of boogie boarding at one of the many beaches in the area.
Why they chose this property
So close to Whangarei CBD but also a world away. The views are incredible whatever the weather and there is always something happening out on the water from yacht races to orca playing. An ideal spot for day trips around the Northland regions.
What makes this property unique
Great walking/cycling area .Fantastic bush walks, stroll to top Whg restaurant. The views! Stunning sunrises and sunsets.
