Excellent roomy two bed unit

Such a great space - a lot more room than we had expected, everything we needed - great wee kitchen either lovely fresh eggs and bread, cereal etc. comfortable and a lovely location being close to town but also not far from walking and beaches at the heads. A gorgeous dog Mocha who came for cuddles with our kids loads and entertained them in the garden.

Oh what a wonderful stay! We absolutely loved our time. An awesome huge space for a young family of five. A lovely breakfast provided the first day, the kids loved interacting with their dog Mocha (our kids are usually dog shy- but not with this brown lab!). Vern gave us some great local advice and even messaged us on a rainy day with rainy day local family activities. It was close to whangarei central; but had a lovely little rocky beach nearby, and not too far from the beautiful ocean beach on the heads. Note: the outside space is a shared space (between the hosts, guests and gardening equipment etc). Which was not a problem, but good to know :)
