Guest Reviews
- Janise (8/5): Peaceful - The tui Nothing
- Duncan (9/5): Lovely little self contained studio. Everything I needed was there. - The host was fantastic accomodating me at the last minute. I had a great stay here! Highly recommended! Not being able to park in driveway. Understandable as it’s part of a main house where host lives.
- Tilak (10/5): We really enjoyed the stay. - Location and privacy No car park
- Joanna (9/5): Very comfortable and convenient. Ideal for a short stay on the North Shore - Really cosy, quiet, high end accommodation for the price Nothing, really.
- Lorna (8/5): -
- Michael (8/5): -
- Ana alicia (8/5): Relaxing and quiet. - De omgeving is rustig en het gasthuis zit in de achtertuin vol met bomen en planten. De gastvrouw is een aardige vrouw. Het gasthuis heeft alles wat je nodig hebt voor een primair verblijf met niet al te veel poespas. Ga je voor simpel dan raad ik the Lighthouse zeker aan. Het is ongeveer 40minuten reizen met overstap naar het centrum. Er rijden meerdere bussen in de wijk. Kom je met de auto dan valt het reuze mee.
- Tammy (10/5): -
- janz (10/5): A relaxing and peaceful stay. - Great location, close to friends, beaches and nice and quiet area.
- Garry (7/5): -

- Verified traveler (10/5): Great place! - Comfortable and very well appointed kitchenette. 2 mins from Torbay and Brown's Bay. Bob and Carol were a joy to communicate with!
- Sam (10/5): Very cosy and tidy lighthouse stay - Good little kitchenette with stovetop and mini fridge. Heat pump is good. Comfortable bedding and powerful shower. Cute friendly cat visited me each morning. Several cats and I attracted the friendliest one to me. I love cats. Nice trees around and quite private. Thank you very much for having me stay :)
- Thomas (6/5): Pleasant - The location is great, a small 15-20 minute walk to Browns Bay. It's quite a hilly route so if you plan on walking be prepared for some undulation. The room had everything needed for a stopover with adequate on-road parking in the cul-de-sac. Easy to find and a private entrance around the side of the main house. There was quite a strong smell of ammonia upon arrival. During the first night I found the culprit meowing at the glass door, not too bad if you're a cat lover. I also woke up on the second day to someone looking in through the glass door - probably checking to see if I'd vacated the property but would rather have the full privacy for my stay.

- Koot (10/5): A Lighthouse to Light Home for your Adventure - It was a lovely little unit, very cosy and well put together. Comfortable bedding and clean towels were provided and welcomed. It was very comforting, and the hosts even had little coloured lights that would sparkle in the trees at night. The bathroom was a little bit of a squeeze, but nothing that couldn't stop you from having a wonderful experience.

Lovely quiet cul de sac.

Homemade biscuits were yummy. Nothing

- Gareth (10/5): A peaceful, comfortable stay- highly recommended - Met Bob on arrival who was very friendly. He offered to take me to the local pub but I had to decline as was bushed after my journey.
The Lighthouse itself was ideal, containing everything I needed including an extremely comfortable bed. I was visiting due to work and it was lovely to come back to this peaceful oasis at the end of the day- it’s so quiet. It was great to have the deck outside where I sat in the sun reading. Despite being attached to the host’s house, it felt very private.
