Loved our stay with Marie Louise. Her and her husband were the perfect hosts and we loved their friendly dog too! Beautiful view, comfy beds, complimentary (proper) coffee in the morning and lots of space. Would definitely hire again! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Although we booked late everything was handled perfectly. We received a warm welcome with a tour around the house and the perfect views. This is really a great location pure waterfront. The house was great, everything we needed (and more) was there. We had a great time. Thanks. Dank je wel :)

Everything was absolutely superb. Thank you once again.

What a stunning view out to Whangarei Harbour. Being right on the water I enjoyed a morning swim. Marie-Louise is a warm, caring host.

My family of 5 visited from Arizona in June 2016. Our hosts were amazing. Very easy to work with and super friendly. We only stayed 2 nights and wished we could have spent more time there. Given it was winter we did not take advantage of all the amenities (kayak, grill, etc.), but the location was amazing and sitting outside admiring the view was as fun and relaxing as anything else. The accommodations were very well stocked (all needed appliances plus some basic toiletries) and we had everything we needed from comfortable beds to the use of a washer/dryer. The general location is about 15 minutes from a major commercial area...close to get everything we needed and far enough that we truly felt like we were on vacation. Our hosts gave us as much space as we wanted. In the mood for socializing? They will invite you to dinner! Prefer a private escape? Grab your keys and stick to your private areas. The space is perfect for a couple on a romantic getaway or family/group looking for a more active retreat. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely stay here again and gladly pay more than we did.

Lovely hosts, warm and welcoming and very helpful. Fabulous location, comfortable stay. Thank you!

What a beautiful and peaceful place right at the shore with a private access to the sea (!), big garden and a stunning view over the bay! Nathalie and Christian are great hosts, very kind and attentive, they decorated for instance the apartment with fresh flowers and provided herbs from their garden. And Nelly, their puffy is heartbraker (and energetic, curious to know how many of the chicken will be left over...). Should we be back in NZ, we will definitely return to this fantastic place!

Maison parfaite pour profiter de la plage avec des Huitres ,des kayaks et du calme contemplatif. Très bien située près des commerces, bien équipée pour la cuisine et cadre splendide. Rapport qualité prix exceptionnel Accueil et échanges très sympathiques avec nos hôtes

Natalie's place is very clean, bright, fresh, peaceful and lovingly set up. The plants tell me they are very happy there too! I like the few little sweet and unusual pieces of decorative items around the place. It was a pity our stay was too short to take advantage of her beach house location. We will definitely come back to stay. All the best! Boon and Kim

Really enjoyed this beautiful and quiet place. Natalie and her partner were very helpfull and kind. The house is surrounded by a big garden and you are at the beach in one second. We would recommend to stay here for a couple of nights and enjoy the beautiful scenery!

Fabulous location! Lovely ocean view and very private.

Beautiful house with great views, especially at sunset.. super cute dog, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen and warm hosts. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place! So many amazing beaches to explore. The kids borrowed body boards and hit the waves! Great hosts. Thanks Christian and Natalie!

Staying at this little spot was a wonderful way to relax and get away from it all. The location was perfect - private and secluded yet not too far from civilisation and conveniences. The apartment was super clean and we loved the fresh flowers, herbs and veggies from the garden. The kayaks were great to explore the beautiful adjacent coastline and the whole area has such diversity and is just so beautiful. Natalie and Christian could not have been more accommodating, communication was smooth and they made sure we had everything we needed, while respecting our privacy.

Jo is a kind person. Our communication was good without delays. The entire down floor is in your own use. You will have your own full privacy. The apartment has huge windows and nice sea views to the sea. You can start nice walks strait from the apartment. Jo has kind neighbours. We got tasty fish fillets. Bigger shops are in Whangarei.

Jo is a nice person. She received us in front of the door and described clearly everything to us. Her place is spacious and comfortable with beautiful sea views. Value for money.

Jo was so kind with us! Her home is in a great location to relax!! she is willing to reccommend walkings in the area! thanks a lot sofi

Really nice place, perfect to chill, beautifull around ! Thanks Jo !

Jo's description of her place is very short and pure understatement. The accommodation provides a spacious living room with comfortable furniture and a bedroom with a queen-size bed and a single bed. Both rooms have huge windows/sliding doors with a great view to the bay. Kitchen and bath room are more simple equipped but provides all you need. You can also use a terrace (nice garden) with a great view to the bay, too. Jo also provides a car port. Even though we arrived late (11pm) we had an easy and convenient check-in. It is a 3 minutes walk to the beach. It's a secluded place (10 minutes drive to the next supermarket) but offers possibilities to discover the beautifull surroundings. We definitly recommend the place and we would return instantly.

Clean, comfortable and convenient for all the activities we wanted to do in the area. We spent 4 nights here in this very spacious apartment . Our host was charming and helpful. Would reckon mend it,

Malgré notre gros van, l emplacement de parking était spacieux. La chambre est suffisamment grande pour accueillir tout le monde. La plage à proximité est vraiment calme et reposante. Nous avons apprécier notre court séjour.

Jos place is very comfortable with beautiful views. The flat has everything we needed for a great stay. Close to lots of beaches to explore by car.

Great little place. Perfect for what we needed. Jenny was very welcoming and helpful. Will be back again next year

Could not be faulted

Jenny was extremely helpful and great at responding.

Owen and Jenny are a lovely, welcoming couple, who have a fantastic place!

Jenny & Owen were friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. This was the perfect overnight stay for our requirements :)

We had a nice time at Owen and Jenny's place. The apartment is spotless and has everything you could need, everythig was clean, beds were comfortable. I can recommend this accommodation

We enjoyed our stay very much and had a great time! Jenny and Owen are very welcoming, and we were even lucky to taste their beautiful tomatoes from the garden. Magnificent views from the terrasse! Just perfect for a couple of days of relaxing and exploring the Whangarei area.

Jenny and Owen provided us with a very nice place to stay. We had everything we could ever wish for when we r on a trip. Jenny was very friendly and good with instructions with things we need to know. Great view and the property is absolutely wonderful. We wish we were there longer :) definitely a place I would book if I or friends visit north NZ again :)

I had a very nice stay at this apartment. It was just what i was after - comfortable, light, nice views and quiet. Juliet was accommodating and friendly and i appreciated the flexible check-in and check-out time. Thanks for letting me stay. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks for a great stay! Perfect accommodation: would be even better with a fan/ac but we would definitely consider coming back!

Beautiful location, so quiet and peaceful. Clean, comfortable, everything you need provided, highly recommended

The apartment is in a nice location - just 400m to a beautiful, quiet beach and with a lovely view over some fields. Juliet and Gary were flexible and helpful with check-in and gave us complete privacy during our stay. The bed is comfortable and the apartment is very spacious.

Juliet and Greg made us feel very welcome. We pretty much kept to ourselves during our week but if there was anything we needed they were happy to oblige. The accommodation was perfect for our needs. The location was great and only a short distance from Matapouri Beach, Tutukaka and Whangaumu Beach.

Wow, such a beautiful spot. The drive in had many little beautiful, sheltered bays - a swimming and kayaking paradise! The view from the apartment was spectacular and the communication from Juliet was always prompt. I loved sitting in the hammock and reading a book in the sun. The place has everything you need. While it is only one bedroom it is very spacious and has a well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend staying here!

We loved this place! Perfect in every way, location, views, hospitality. Thanks so much for an awesome few days ☺

Perfect place to stay, everything you could need, view amazing and host really helpful

This place have everything you need to have a great break or holidays! Cosy, clean and tidy! Specially for families and friends! Tony & Eileen were great hosts. We highly recommend this place!

Great place, great Host. Stayed for one week, Tony gave us fishing gear, so we could enjoy a fishing day at the pier- even with some catch- also we used the kayaks. The sea is just infront of the house, so very easy. Recommend to have a car, if you want to be flexible while staying there.

Tony and Eileen were very friendly and helpful to us. The unit was spotless and everything very well organised. We absolutely loved exploring whangarei heads and wished we had more time.

Tony and Eileen were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome. The apartment was very nice, clean and had everything you needed to cook your own meals. The apartment is in a very nice neighborhood and the surrounding area is great, (their neighbors are very friendly as well). We spent one very enjoyable evening out back sharing drinks and stories with our hosts. This is a great place to launch adventures around the Whangarei region. Plenty of opportunities to hike, enjoy the beach, paddle, and / or bike. Tony and Eileen have all the toys from kayaks to bikes to fishing gear. Great place with great people!

Lovely location with direct access to the beach, and great to have use of the kayaks to paddle around the very safe bay. Apartment was great as were our hosts, sorry to leave.

Cosy, tidy and homely unit with everything available - WIFI an added bonus. Tony and Eileen are very friendly, genuine hosts. Space and privacy is important for us as we have young children and we got just that. A beautiful part of NZ. Friendly people about and a great fishing spot!

Tony and Eileen warmly welcomed us upon arrival and oriented us to their wonderful Seaside Anchorage and all it has to offer - complete ensuite accommodation, McLeod Bay across their quiet street, kayaks for use complete with expert fishing advice, fruit and veggies and fresh eggs in the backyard, and so much more. We had a guest join us for 2 days, and Tony and Eileen did all they could to make him welcome also.

We enjoyed our stay at Tony and Eileen place. The location was fantastic for kayaking when the tide is in and you can do a short coastal walk to get to a small bay good for swimming. The unit was very clean and cozy, great selection of DVDs and lots of board games to keep the kids entertained. The back yard was great to relax. The kids loved picking strawberries and we all loved eating my homemade pizza made in the outdoor pizza oven! Thanks Tony and Eileen!

Great accommodation, exceptionally clean, central, comfortable and very we'll equiped. Great quiet space for family to get together

Everything on the website about the house and host are all true. Very clean, very nice accommodation with an attentive hostess. I will return.

This apartment is absolutely perfect for a getaway. Kerry is easy to communicate with, attentive, and thoughtful. The apartment was spotlessly clean and stocked with everything needed for cooking meals and relaxing in comfort. And if I haven't said enough good, the location is the best part. Stores, shops, town basin, town center, parks and trails are all quickly and easily accessible on foot. Great stay.

Kerry is a wonderful host, very accomodating. We have definitely enjoyed our stay. The apartment is absolutely lovely, very clean, well presented and very central. We highly recommend this property.

We spent a week at Kerry"s lovely new modern apartment centrally located to town and only 7-10 minutes or less to Whangarei falls and Quarry gardens. We were able to walk to 2 grocery stored in less than two blocks. That made for easy shopping therefore we cooked everyday. She was quick to respond and communicate with us. The neighborhood was safe and quiet at night. The covered parking was a tight squeeze but luckily we had a small car. There was street parking if we wanted.We took advantage of the washer and dryer. All the furnishings were brand new and smart clean & modern decor and spotlessly clean. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

We had a great time in Kerry's place and beautiful Bay of Islands. The place is very well renovated will all brand new furniture and appliances. It is in a quiet street and conveniently close to shops and food stores such as Countdown. We do consider to stay there again if we visit Bay of Islands and highly recommend this lovely apartment.

Thanks Kerry, you apartment is great. As it has recently been modernized is was super clean and comfortable - especially the beds. Happily recommend, and would stay again.

We really loved staying here. The apartment was spotless clean, beautiful and comfortable. We loved the patio and yard area giving the place extra privacy. The kitchen and all the amenties made making dinner a pleasure. Especially the sharp knives. It was a perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring.

Absolutely amazing location and views. Eric was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Highly recommended.

Me & my girlfriend stayed here over Auckland anniversary weekend and absolutely loved it. The apartment is well laid out with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We particularly enjoyed the enormous gardens that we were free to wander around in. Ended up having dinner on a deck built down the bottom of the garden that looked out onto the magnificent view of the Tutukaka coast. Eric himself was a wonderful host, even showed us where a pod of dolphins were in the morning. Would definitely stay here again and thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

A nice self contained apartment. Eric is very helpful and knows the area very well. There are several kinds of fruits and vegetables in the backyard that Eric invited us to pick and enjoy. The ocean views from the garden are amazing. Our car needed repairs while we were at Eric's. He was very helpful. He even offered to go to a junk yard to get the part we needed and install it! A great host. Highly recommended

The view The sound of the sea .....bliss

We totally enjoyed our short weekend break at Bellah-Paz. Eric was very welcoming and put us at ease immediately. We loved the outside deck that overlooks the ocean. Unfortunately our Poor Knights Island trip with Dive! In Tutukaka was cancelled due to bad weather conditions. The silver lining: We will be back coming weekend to one more night at Bellah- Paz before hopefully going on the snorkelling trip this time.

Relaxed and personable welcome to a wonderful apartment with outstanding views and garden

Great place, really good value for money. The unit had everything we needed. Plus amazing views and garden to explore.

Great spot. Eric was helpful and a fountain of knowledge.
