Our Commitment To You

Our vision is to be the number one accommodation destination in Northland.

We seek to achieve this by delivering a truly unique and unforgettable hospitality experience, where by understanding and accommodating your individual needs, we can provide opportunities for you to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Our barometer for success is when you are so impressed, that you will feel compelled to tell someone else about it.

In order to achieve this, we understand the need to provide unparalleled personal service and exceed your expectations in comfort, cleanliness and value. In doing so, our aim is to be your first choice in accommodation when visiting the Bay of Islands.

Our team makes this happen by working together under this core set of values that underpin what we stand for:

Empathy | Respect | Trust | Integrity | Cleanliness | Quality | Teamwork


Being your first choice, means listening to you – continually

Our success is earned through continual improvement to meet changing needs and raising our own high standards. Our latest improvements- six new apartment style units, have been designed in a collaborative process with our guests. Sound proof rooms, super fast wired and wireless broadband, generous work stations, full kitchens complete with dishwasher and washer/dryer facilities are just some of your suggestions that we have incorporated. We love your suggestions and working with you to make your stay the best it can be. So if there is anything that we can do to improve your stay, please let us know!

The tripadvisor effect

Accommodation guest review websites like Tripadvisor mean that there is no where to hide for accommodation providers that don't live up to guests expectations. The power is now in your hands to expose or endorse the places you stay.

Where a lot of accommodation providers are uncomfortable with this trend, we believe in total transperancy and are confident in the service we provide. That is why we publish live Tripadvisor comments on our home page, fed straight from their web site. If we don’t hit the high standards we set ourselves, it will be published on our home page for all to see. That’s pretty good motivation for our team!
