Home from home.....plus water views!

What a find! The property and accommodation are in a beautiful location. The place is very well equipped and functional. The deck area in front of the place is the most amazing spot - table and chairs and umbrella - a place to watch the sun set and to gaze out at the water and the Whangarei heads. Thanks for a great stay.

Meeting the owners was a privilege and they made us feel welcome. the facilities were first class and spending time there was relaxing to say the least. i would absolutely recommend this property to anybody looking for a place to have time out with family and friends.

This is a gorgeous property, right on the water & with high end furnishings & bedding. The hosts are very friendly & helpful and we loved visits from their cat Bonnie too! If we didn’t live on the other side of the world we’d be coming back every few weeks we loved it so much!

This place makes us want to live in One Tree Point!

I can totally recommend this property as being five star. The hosts Michelle and Russell are top notch and really know how to do hosting well. The property had everything we needed and I could not fault it. However the winning thing was the location. We swam twice a day, at dawn and in the dark even. The water at high tide is exceptional and the double kayak is an added bonus. We would stay again in a heart beat. I did not want to leave to be honest!
