We enjoyed our stay and I would recommend it to others if you like being out in nature and peaceful environment. It’s 30min to Russell and out in the bush. Beautiful views. Bed was comfortable for us. Coffee machine available. Very clean. We were also allowed to bring our little dog with us which was appreciated. Kitchen has most things to make a meal.

Loved staying here. Perfect spot for some well needed R&R, lovely view, swimming in the beautiful bay and not far from many other beautiful beaches to explore also a few minutes drive to Kerikeri township. Alan is a very helpful generous host. From the beautiful dalias & spotless room & bathroom to the amenities was all very appreciated. Lovely hearing kiwis at night. Highly recommend & will be my pick for next visit sometime in future. Thankyou both for a wonderful stay.

Very friendly and accommodating host; well-presented two bedroom unit located under the host's two-storey house and deck, which provided cool shade in the summer heat; easy access from the road; car parking is on the grass verge at the side of the road; quiet beach-side neighbourhood with friendly neighbours; good location for spotting wild kiwis in the bush with an easy track (about 100-200 metres from the property) -- red light torches were provided for kiwi-spotting and we spotted three kiwis on our second night there; good easy access to lovely beaches. (Note: the photos of the property were taken just before our departure.)

Chris and Val are fantastic, friendly folk and fabulous hosts. Chris is the hostess with the mostess. The rooms, property, and setting are amazing. I admit to letting out a gasp as we arrived and drove down the driveway. The carpet in our room was lush, the bed was super comfy (loved the daisy cushions), everything was clean and spotless, and the shower was probably the best I've ever used in all of my travels. We had a private deck area with comfortable outdoor chairs, a decent sized wooden table, and a large sun umbrella - that was actually easy to simply wind up and down! We looked out onto the manicured lawn, rich foliage, and native trees. It was so lovely to see fantails and hear the chorus of cicadas. The extra touches of biscuits, chocolates - fresh milk in glass bottles in the fridge (to go along with tea, coffee etc) - beach/swimming towels (there's a local swimming hole with a small waterfall nearby), and range of toiletries, added that extra touch of class. The air con, wifi, and TV worked. The changing/wardrobe area was handy, private, and useful - even if we didn't use the lovely robes provided. There's plenty of room to hang and store clothing, and your own safe for valuables (I don't have any!). Parking and getting in and out of the property were a breeze. Chris was happy to help with anything but was never intrusive. She recommended a local place or two for dining, and they were fantastic. We were happy to simply get some fresh towels and milk halfway through our stay, with no pressure or rush to work around inconvenient, compulsory daily service of our room (nor departure as early as possible before 10 am). Everything was classy enough to feel great and make you feel special and comfy enough to be peaceful and relaxing. We loved it so much that we extended our stay. If you stay anywhere else up that way, you're mad. I'm going back ASAP, and I didn't want to leave in the first place.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Fabulous hosts - very friendly and supportive. Met us upon arrival. Helped us with parking the car.
It is a great quiet location with an excellent internal and external layout. Fabulous terrace in front of the house.
Well insulated, very private, you can hear the kiwis at night. House is a very modern build to a high spec.
Feels very relaxing and well laid out.
It was in a beautiful quiet idyllic setting with amazing views from balcony of Russell Bay, short walk to the lovely town and bay. Very comfortable with all amenities and fresh fruit and breakfast provided. Sue is a wonderful host who is very involved in the community and has vast information about the area. We loved it.
The hosts are a charming and personal couple. We had a bit of luck, got an upgrade, and had ample space for the three of us. The rooms are tidy and well-equipped. Lots of onsite parking, a nice pool and pool area, and quiet surroundings. We came back a day later to stay for another two nights.
Great location and lovely atmosphere with charming rooms and garden. beds were comfy and there was a dining table and lounge in our room. Baden, our host, was helpful and friendly. the cooking facilities I. the room were great and we made our own breakfast daily. Seaport Lodge us about a four minute walk from the jetty and beach (and not up a hill!)
Beautiful garden with lots of birds singing. Great host, who called us afterwards to let us know we left our phone and then went out of her way to leave it at a convenient location. Comfortable room and private patio. Great location. We will be back
