Beautiful spot! Would have loved a bit more time to get to enjoy the pool etc because it looked stunning. Next time for sure :)

Everything was superb. The attention to detail is second to none. Beautifully fitted rooms, wonderful breakfast, amazing location, fantastic hosts. We'll definitely be back.

Everything was excellent.

Location good.

Water pressure on shower.

amazing location and exceptional hospitality.

it was 100% perfect!

great facilities. pool is fantastic. the view is gorgeous. Andrea and Mike are great hosts

Owners Andrea and Mike are clearly passionate about giving a great experience to guests! The vibe is home from home and the decor is, relaxed country family villa. Kids are welcomed too with the pool and games room. It appears they work hard on their property…very clean, very well maintained, spacious, comfy beds/new linen, and the wifi and TV channels are great- photos are accurate. They are full of local info and ready to help but totally not intrusive in any way, i.e. Mike wanted to check that mowing the grass wouldn’t be a bother. Oh the breakfast, perfect eggs with all things to accompany, and an excellent flat white!! Wow the views are a-maz-ing! Got a friend getting married? Check this place out, they have the whole deal in one venue, just beautiful. Ka Pai Andrea and Mike for a relaxing stay.

Nil. Can’t fault this venue.

Kauri Villa is a lovely surprise up a pretty driveway. The views are gorgeous and the different accomodation options mean there is a spot for everyone. Andrea and Mike were welcoming and generous with their time. The two bedroom self catering cottage had everything you need and was ideal for a couple of nights - we would have liked to stay longer. The beds were comfortable with a choice of pillows and having a bathroom for each bedroom was a bonus. The decor was restful and welcoming. Don't forget your swimsuits for the spa and pool.

Gorgeous location, friendly and helpful owners, very well appointed cottage, spotlessly clean and tidy.

Everything was fine, no dislikes.

Mike was a warm and attentive host who made us a delicious breakfast to order: bacon, eggs. Dench pastries... The works! Charming villa accommodation beautifully decorated with Andrea's impressive collection of vintage collectibles. Loved the facilities:Large pool, spa and the kids couldn't get enough of the games room. It was a good space to relax and meet other guests too. We really appreciated the free upgrade to a larger room for our family which meant we were closer to the facilities too.

Handy location for exploring the surrounding area, but still not far from Whangarei if wanting to shop, visit restaurants etc. Property has nice views over the bay, with lots of local bird life in the trees on the property, and secluded enough for a peaceful night's sleep. Accommodation clean and tidy, with comfortable beds, and everything you need. Local pub not far away for a nice meal. Would happily stay here again.

Nothing. All very well presented.

The breakfast was delicious. The games room was lots of fun and had so many options to choose from. The outside deck area and the view was top notch. We loved all the nic nacs on the shelves. The crockery was amazing. The grounds and bird life was wonderful.

Maybe some instructions on how to operate the TV.😂

We loved everything about our stay here with hosts Mike and Andrea. The games barn was a treat for the whole family, the rooms are so nice and clean and DO NOT pass the opportunity to have breakfast in the morning. We were made to feel so special and we did not want to leave. We can't wait to go back again. We stay at different accommodations frequently in Northland and this place has taken the cake and set the bar so high. Thank you Mike and Andrea.

I dont like the fact we cant rate higher than a 10.

Really beautiful site, as soon as I arrived I regretted that I would be there only for one night. I will definitely love to come back. Beautiful view, stunning grounds and I also really loved the breakfast!

Own space in the room, and the location!

Wish we had taken 2 nights instead of one.

It is a wonderful place and felt like a home away from home. The property is well managed and clean.

The location was secluded and peaceful and had beautiful views across the bay . The Villa and gardens were very pretty and the grounds well kept, it was lovely sitting under the trees and watching the sunset.

The history, cleanliness, facilities, location / surroundings and the beautiful breakfasts!

Must stay! Enjoyed our stay here so much.

The pool, spa, games room, TV, bush walk was great for the kids. Pauline and Buster were kind enough to let us check in an hr early. They both offered to try and help me find my fone I lost in the bush. They made us a wonderful brekky. Most of all they made us welcome in their beautiful home
