We stayed at this lovely place for two days and loved it. It's located a bit outside Whangarei, but only a few minutes drive. The room were lovely and so were the grounds. They have an operating farm with cows, sheeps, hens (and probably more which we didn't see) and a nice pool area. The breakfast was also nice but we didn't try the dinner.
Only downside for us was that we had to do some work on our trip, which became difficult as the WIFI fell down quite often. Despite this we will definitely return if we come back to the area, and can recommend it to everyone.
