“This is a beautiful place to stay with an attentive host. The accommodation and surroundings were fantastic, and was a great base for exploring the northern part of New Zealand’s North Island. I would recommend this upscale accommodation to friends and family.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lisa’s beautiful historic cottage. Beautifully decorated and wonderfully appointed with such thoughtful care, we had everything we needed for a relaxing break away. Super comfy bed and great shower! The sunny verandah area is so peaceful and even has an outdoor fire! Bush walks on the doorstep yet the property is minutes from the cafes at Whangarei Town Basin - best of both worlds! We thoroughly recommend!”

“Lisa’s place was exactly like it was described and presented in the photos. The photos actually do not do it justice as it is set inside a gated property that is really peaceful. Lisa as a host thinks of the small details that make a stay away from home, feel like a home.”
