"Had a lovely time, thank you. We are old yachts, and enjoyed the boathouse with its fun nautical decor!"

8.0

Great location. Comfy bed. Very clean.

Was a bit cold. More cooking and laundry facilities would have been handy because ours was quite a long stay.

"A true boathouse for nautical lovers, a good value and great location."

8.0

A true boathouse! The view from the deck was amazing, right over the water! The kitchen was well-equipped, with a separate dining and living space with a view of the water and their boat. The separate bedroom was clean and quiet, the shower was hot with good pressure. Lots of pictures of boats and nautical décor!

The location was a little hard to find. The mattress was too soft and sagged in the center. There were only 2 pillows on the bed, needed 2 more. There were no paper towels or paper napkins in the kitchen. There was no information on the hosts, or things to do or see in the area that would have been helpful.

"Very Good"

7.0

After following the detailed instructions we got inside O.K.

The weather was a factor here as we could not make good use of the tiny deck over the water. Found having a basin in the bedroom was quite strange but understand it was a space thing. The bed a bit on the small side after all our other stops.

"Enjoyable stay with everything we needed."

Quirky, shabby chic style. Enjoyed sitting in swinging chair on the deck, watching the birds and boat action on the river.

"A unique stay in Whangarei"

10.0

Loved our stay at the boat house. The location was superb, right on the loop track around the river. We loved this unique stay here! In addition the place was very well equipped with everything we needed. We loved sitting out watching the boats and ducks pass by. I definitely recommend being here for sunset

There was nothing that we didn’t like, we loved our stay! The only things I would mention is that there is a bit of noise from traffic in the morning and the parking isn’t entirely off street. Our biggest regret is not booking two nights!
