Location is a little out of town but only about a short walk away. It is in a sunny spot, but there is some road noise as it's near a junction although most of the time this isn't an issue. It's about a 5 min or less walk to the beach and about a 15 min walk/short drive to the Treaty Grounds or similar in opposite direction to town. Owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about places to visit in the area. Very spacious room Great shower Loads of kitchen equipment if needed

We stayed in a 2bed room “Deck” room. Meaning it was on the second floor, with a furnished balcony, which had a beautiful view of the Bay of Islands! The unit itself was nicely laid out with the 2 bedrooms, separated from each other and the other common rooms, by a hallway with multiple doors, which increases privacy and decrease the sound. The hallway had doors to the kitchen/living room, the toilet room, and then shower room

The owners were helpful, f r gently, and prompt. The location was very close to shops and sires (less than 3 blocks). The beds were very comfortable, and the best sleep of the trip. And the AC was great.

Looking for a motel?
