Gorgeous house and very comfortable for our short stay in Whangarei. We used the outside deck for a meal while a storm was rolling in, it was lovely. Beds were super comfortable, and plenty of spaces for our group of four to chill out in....

I am an artist who enjoys anything creative . My passion at present is ceramics . I like to travel since retiring and enjoy venturing out to discover different parts of the world and of course Aotearoa. When I am not travelling or have my hands covered in clay I like to be out in my garden. My home is also one of my creative projects and I hope that you enjoy your time soaking up the tranquility and art inspired ambience I have created here . I get great pleasure out of sharing something I have created and my home is one of those .
Nestled on the hillside of Morningside, north east facing and walking distance to the centre of whangarei if you are feeling energetic , 5 to10 min drive depending on traffic. The town basin is the central hub of Whangarei with cafes, restaurants , art galleries, museum , Hunderwasser Art Centre with Māori Art Gallery, Hihiaua Cultural centre ( and cafe ) Reyburn House gallery , Burning Issues gallery . The loop around the basin is a great walk as well as bicycle track . The farmers growers markets are on a sat morning ,also walking distance from where you will be staying . The Quarry Arts Centre is a 10 min drive if you are interested in the arts . Is well worth a visit . As are the Quarry gardens where you will also find a delightful cafe with gorgeous views onto the gardens. Mair Park has lovely walks and backs on to the Hatea river, You can keep on walking to the Whangarei falls if once again you are feeling energetic. A walk up Parihaka Scenic Reserve gives an excellent view over Whangarei. Seminoff Stadium is within walking distance for concerts and sports events . Beaches are a 40 min drive .. Tutukaka coast and Whangarei Heads . Scenic beaches and hikes all along the coast . Renowned surfing beach Sandy Bay is a 40 minute drive away . The walking track along the coastline from Sandy Bay to Whananaki is truly breathtaking.. as is the Whale Bay walking track to Matapouri Bay . Mount Mania walking trek is approx half an hour drive from where you will be staying. You will certainly leave Whangarei with your cup full if you embrace all that is on offer with enthusiasm and curiosity .. It is an undiscovered little piece of paradise in the north without the overcrowding of tourists.
