Company information

Hi We have been looking after guests for the past 7 years on The Gold Coast. We moved back to New Zealand In November to spend time with family as we have 5 grand children with another on the way. We love travelling as much as our guests do so we hope to give all our guests a great experience while staying with us and we hope they enjoy the Bay Of Islands as much as we do.. We enjoy getting out on the boat in our spare time as there are so many beautiful beaches to enjoy along with picturesque walks around the islands and great fishing.
