“What a fantastic find this lovely B&B was. A beautiful old villa exquisitley decorated and furnished yet homely and comfortable. The bed was large and comfortable, linen and soft furnishings sumptuous and everywhere beautifully maintained including the gardens and old fashioned veranda.But more importantly was the kindness and hospitalty given to us by the hosts Di and Ray. Nothing was too much trouble...Di is a very good cook providing biscuits, breakfast and very very good coffee and Ray providing helpful information about the local area with a dry sense of humour.....January 2012”

“We stayed for only 3 days in this B&B in Whangarei, we would have liked it to be more ', but our journey north has "forced" us to leave this excellent facility. We were pampered in every way, we were also helped to reserve a car and pay the transit tunnel to Auckland. Breakfast with everything and more ', fresh fruit and excellent quality.' The rooms were clean and spacious. If we come back we will stop in Whangarei again definitely! Thank you, Ray!...November 2011”
