Summary: This property has a terrific scenic view and well located just outside of Whangarei. As importantly, our host and hostess were absolutely lovely and made our stay in a slightly shared property (ie the pool and hot tub) exceedingly warm and comfortable. Our only criticism is that the location was too steep for us to take walks from the home. However, we had great walks in the area.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Bourne House. The history of how it came to Whangerei was very interesting. Accommodations were excellent, extremely spacious. It was a bonus to have a pool and hot tub and they were both very nice. Views were hard to beat (and we had seen plenty of good views after 3 weeks in NZ). Andy and Leslie were wonderful hosts and very helpful in telling us about things to see in the area. Would highly recommend staying here. I just wish we could have stayed longer. * In response to another review, I found kitchen to be more than adequate. Hade everything you would need to prepare meals. I made full dinner a couple of nights while staying there.

Summary: The property was clean and the living and bedroom areas were large. There were no wardrobes in the bedrooms but plenty of room to have them. The views were beautiful. The pool pump room was literally located within the main bedroom, so it was very noisy through the day. The driveway was very, very steep. I was concerned our car would not get up it. Fortunately, we had an SUV, I don't know if a small sedan could make it. The kitchen was small and only had a bar fridge; a full-size fridge and larger kitchen would have been more ideal. There was little interaction with the hosts as they had relatives staying at the time, which may be ideal for some people. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
