Unbelievable sea views, incredible bungalow, outstanding cleanliness, delicious homemade meal, warm and welcoming host.

Perfect location and stunning views overlooking the harbour. Well-furnished and beautifully decorated room. Quiet at night with off-street parking. Comfortable bed. Close to town, ferry, attractions, and Hokianga scenery. Excellent food.

The value for money was excellent, with a beautifully appointed room and attention to every detail that made it feel like a home away from home. The location was fabulous, with stunning views of sunrise and sunset over the hills and water. The staff treated us like welcome friends, making our experience even more special.

Breakfast delights could be improved by positioning the microwave on the worktop for ease of use.

Pure cotton bed linen and towels: The cozy bed enveloped me like a warm hug, making me feel like royalty in my own little castle.

Cold draughts coming through: Chilly winds managed to find their way inside, giving the room a bit of an Arctic feel.

The bungalow I stayed in had a queen size four poster bed, which made me feel like royalty. The ensuite bathroom had a beautiful ball and claw bath, perfect for a relaxing soak. I loved that the bungalow had a flat-screen TV with SKY and Chromecast, so I could catch up on my favorite shows. The selection of teas provided in the bungalows was a nice touch, allowing me to enjoy a cuppa whenever I wanted. The dimmable lights in the bungalow created a cozy and intimate atmosphere, perfect for winding down in the evenings.

Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of the trombone style shower over the bath in the ensuite bathroom. But hey, that's just me!

The sea view cottage has beautiful stained glass windows, an old dining table, and a lovely sideboard. The room feels like a castle with a well-curated interior, including a barrister style coffee making facility and a fridge freezer combo. The artwork follows a coherent scheme. The host, Robyn, goes above and beyond for guests, ensuring a hassle-free stay. The location offers stunning views of sunrise and sunset over the hills and water.

As longer term business travellers, we loved the tasteful and cosy rooms with beautiful design. The property's location allowed us to explore off the map places, with the added bonus of having no one around during our excursions. The hot tub and the opportunity to see around the hostess's house were wonderful additions. Robyn's cooking and the sunset were highlights of our stay.

Felt like home, no complaints.

Mind-blowing location with breathtaking views of sunrise and sunset. Super accommodating host who went above and beyond to ensure a hassle-free stay. Stylish and high-quality decor, plus a fabulous swim spa. Fantastic dinner served for a special occasion. Friendly pets added to the wonderful experience. Highly recommended for exploring and relaxation.

The room felt like a castle, with a well-curated interior and attention to detail. the view of the fjord was great and offered lots of privacy. the room had a fridge-freezer combo and a coffee making facility. the artwork was impressive and matched the overall vibe. the room was quiet and had Bluetooth sound and a chrome cast TV. the three-course dinner served in-room added to the perfect Christmas getaway.

The wifi range could be improved, as it didn't reach the deck area. It would have been nice to have a microwave to complement the ceran cooktops.

I had the most romantic and comfortable stay at a charming hideaway in a convenient location. The guesthouse was beautifully presented and well-equipped with everything I needed. The views from the garden were breathtaking. I highly recommend Marriner's Boutique Guesthouses.
