Lovely Stay

This was our last stay in New Zealand and was by far the best, the most gorgeous home! We had everything we could need and then some. Sue and Ed were great hosts and we enjoyed our many conversations. The location was lovely, just what we needed to relax and unwind after a month of travel.

Beautiful house with views

Lovely house, interestingly decorated and designed. Very comfortable beds and very well equipped. Owners live below. Keeping young children quiet for the owners sake was important. Little outside space but lovely swimming beaches within walking distance.

Fabulous!!!!

We can not say enough great things about the hosts and the house! The pictures are accurate but even better in person! Super clean, comfortable beds, kitchen well appointed, and huge deck to grill and enjoy the beautiful NZ sunsets. Walk to the beach, or cafes in Manly Beach. If we are lucky enough to come back to this amazing country we will stay here! Thanks for everything!

We had really great days at Ed‘s and Sue‘s house. For us it was simply perfect. Great hosts!

When one looks out for a place that can be both a perfect starting point for trips around northland and a lovely place close to a nice beach with great views - well, then that‘s THE place. The house is just 150 meters away from a lovely, calm beach. And the morning starts with a great view over the bay. It is exactly how the pictures discribe it - and even better! Ed and Sue are lovely hosts. We spent our Christmas in their house. And they were so kind to leave presents for us. Especially for Germans one of the highest signs of hospitality. We stood for six days and easily could have spent more time. The whole architecture and interior is very generous, with a lots of light and plenty of space for everyone. All in all: a lovely place for everyone who arrives from a world trip and needs a great place to experience NZ.

Immaculate house, great location, incredible views!

The house was spacious, quiet, and very clean. Pictures don't do it justice. Sue has done an amazing job decorating - we loved all the artwork and cozy throws! Sue and Eddie were the most gracious hosts during our stay. My family of four spent a week during the winter and found that the house could easily have accommodated more people. We used the kitchen primarily for coffee and breakfast, but along with the outdoor grill it was ready for all sorts of cooking adventures. The location was perfect; it was the highest point in the area for spectacular views, but still an easy walk down to two pristine beaches (Manly or Tindalls). We particularly enjoyed being able to walk for dinner and drinks at the Manly Bar & Grill. The ferry to Auckland (and Tiritiri Matangi Island) was just a short drive and much easier than trying to drive into the city, especially for someone from Boston used to driving on the right! There’s also a lovely park for day hikes a few km past the ferry – we honestly felt like we never needed to leave Whangaparaoa. Winter was great, BTW (nice weather, no crowds). Highly recommended.

Excellent hosts. Nice location with fantastic vjiews.

Ed and Sue are very friendly and accommodating hosts. Their house is spacious and well furnished. The views from the deck and windows around are fantastic. There is ample parking. The immediate surroundings are quite hilly, needs some energy to walk to and from the nearby beach. Due to a delay checking out from the Covid isolation facilities the family could not occupy the rental property on March 07 as booked but one day later, on March 08. We have requested a one day refund from the rental cost which has so far not been remitted.

Amazing stay

From the first time we met Sue, she ensured we felt right at home. Much to her warm personality you could feel the warmth around the house. One of us became quite I'll and had to go to the hospital. Sue and ed really stepped in with genuine concern to see how they could help. If there was a 6 star I would tick that box. I will be staying here again. Sue and ed live downstairs. Trust me it's not a deterrent at all as you dont see or here from them unless you need it. Thank you so much for being such amazing hosts and making our stay so comfortable.

Beautiful house by near the beach Beach

We stayed here with our two boys over a long weekend. The property was immaculately presented and everything functioned as you would expect. Sue and Ed (the owners) were great and had some great ideas for activities for kids and us to do. Property is a few minutes walk to Manly beach which I always enjoy walking along. Although there were only 4 of us this property could have easily housed another family and then a few more.

Spacious, light filled home with beautiful views

We stayed over the New Years period 2018/2019. There were 6 adults, a preschooler and a baby and the house was big enough to accommodate all of us. All the necessary equipment needed to sleep, seat and feed the number of guests was present with each room decorated with creative flair. Loved all the home made knitted blankets, making the house feel friendly and welcoming. The master bedroom is great for families as had the main double bed, a little nook with a single for our preschooler and more than enough space for the portacot (which they provided). Only thing to note is the master bedroom is quite light still in summer so consider bringing blackout for the portocot if your little one struggles to sleep in lighter rooms. Alternatively situate portacot in the very big and darker walk in wardrobe which is also in the master bedroom. Ed and Sue live downstairs and are great hosts leaving you to enjoy your holiday but present if anything is required. Very enjoyable stay by all and our preschooler keeps asking to go back to the holiday house!
