    If staying in main bedroom the noise of trucks loading onto ferry pretty much non stop 6 to 10pm bearable for the view. However for second bedroom right adjacent too much. So 9/10 for primary guest and low rating for the other. I would list the property as one bedroom for good consistent ratings.

    The view was incredible and the apartment beautifully decorated

    Ferry noise every 10 minutes took a day to get used to it although we did choose this property knowing the ferry was there and it was ok overall.

    Spacious and very comfortable especially the lounge recliners. Kitchen well appointed. North facing deck and lounge/dining area for light and view.

    Beautiful well-appointed apartment, located right next to busy ferry terminal.

    The ferry and local public toilets are located right next to the property. The ferry service starts around 5.30am and finishes around 10.30pm, so any guests staying in the second room will be disturbed. The noise is less of a concern in the master bedroom located on the other side of the accommodation.

    Beautiful location, very convenient and with good facilities. The local Yacht Club had a brilliant bistro / bar and the general store was close by and well stocked. Fantastic views over the bay and good local walks.

    First time in the upper level and found the second bedroom to be very, very tiny. Bed against the one wall and no cupboard space or even space for bedside tables/lamps. Also in the other bigger bedroom the cupboards and drawers are full of housekeeping stuff so you have to live out of your luggage. There is a dressing table in this room too however there is no mirror.

    We have been 4 times previously on the lower level. Location and unit are wonderful.

    Can't say there wasn't anything we didn't like, however it might be worth mentioning that if you're looking for absolute privacy / quiet, both inside and out, it's a bit of a tricky one as it's nestled right next to the car ferry terminal, which operates day in day out - Wasn't an issue for us as our little one loved watching the boat come and go!

    Absolutely loved the place. Best part about the place would be the ocean view, for sure!

    The ferry acriss to Russell is right by the property so the noise and commition of the 6am start takes a bit of adjustment.

    The outlook over the water towards the Bay of Islands is out of this world and the property is set up to take full advantage of this. The property is furnished to a very high standard and with every possible amenity. A+++

    Beautiful water view and easy parking outside. Also kitchen was well stocked.

    A Perfect Retreat - Five-Star Holiday Home!

    • Stayed 4 nights

    While our stay at this holiday home was mostly delightful, there was one minor inconvenience to note. In one of the smaller rooms, we occasionally heard ferry noises during the night. However, it's worth mentioning that we eventually grew accustomed to it after a few nights, and it didn't significantly impact our overall experience.

    We recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at this holiday home, and it left us truly impressed. The apartment was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and equipped with a top-notch kitchen that had everything we needed and more. The comfortable couches and cozy warmth added to the overall comfort, making it a perfect escape. But the real highlight was the stunning view that greeted us every day. It was the icing on the cake, turning this holiday home into an unforgettable experience. In short, we highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. We can't wait to return!
