Home from home.....plus water views!
What a find! The property and accommodation are in a beautiful location. The place is very well equipped and functional. The deck area in front of the place is the most amazing spot - table and chairs and umbrella - a place to watch the sun set and to gaze out at the water and the Whangarei heads. Thanks for a great stay.

This is a gorgeous property, right on the water & with high end furnishings & bedding. The hosts are very friendly & helpful and we loved visits from their cat Bonnie too! If we didn’t live on the other side of the world we’d be coming back every few weeks we loved it so much!

The accommodation was exactly as described and pictured - probably better than pictured - and exactly what we wanted. A great waterside spot and the apartment was super clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. The owners are super friendly and helpful. Would happily recommend and visit again.

This place makes us want to live in One Tree Point!
I can totally recommend this property as being five star. The hosts Michelle and Russell are top notch and really know how to do hosting well. The property had everything we needed and I could not fault it. However the winning thing was the location. We swam twice a day, at dawn and in the dark even. The water at high tide is exceptional and the double kayak is an added bonus. We would stay again in a heart beat. I did not want to leave to be honest!

Fantastic stay
This is a great place to stay. Beautifully clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. You can just walk out the door and walk along the access track that goes along above the water or if the tide is out drop down and walk along the shore. Next time we will have time to use the kayak that is available. Lovely, friendly hosts.

Such a lovely place to stay with a gorgeous view over the water. It is quiet, relaxing and peaceful. Russell and Michelle are fabulous hosts - accommodating, easy to communicate with, and thoughtful. The apartment is well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and is accessible to an easy walk around the inlet on a warm sunny day. Perfect!
