This was a fantastic place to stay. We booked a single room for three nights, and because the room next door was available, we were given access to another bedroom as well as the connecting living room. The hosts Susie and Drew are fantastic. Accommodating and friendly, there was nothing that we asked that seemed a bother. We went scuba... More

We spent two nights in the Lodge in this beautiful location.and it made a perfect start to our New Zealand holiday. It is true that the views are absolutely stunning, but what made this B & B stay so delightful was the hospitality and friendliness of Susie and Drew. Thank you for persuading us to stay for two nights. There... More

We spent 4 nights at Kauri Villas and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is about 20 minutes outside Whangarei along the road to the Whangarei Heads area. We stayed in the accommodation inside the lodge. The room was very clean and comfortable and had a sitting area attached. The Villa overlooks the outer harbor of Whangarei with stunning views all...

Thank you for your kind review. You were most welcome. For the benefit of others I’d just like to say that they stayed in our main Kauri Villa on a B&B basis which does not nomally include guest laundry facilities! Our Lodge is a separate building which is fully self-contained, including laundry facilities. We always advise guests well in advance... More

We warmely thank Drew and Susie for their welcome, help and advises they gave us, even with the damage of one our luggage encountered with Air NZ, that toke several mounths to be sold. The breakfast and meals are awesome, the house and surroundings beautifull and quiet. A lovely place to stay and relax.

Thank you so much for your kind review. Sorry; we didn't realise you were looking for DVDs! We have quite a selection of DVDs, including several for children of various ages, which we keep in the main Villa specifically for our guests. We slipped up there in not letting you know! Drew More

We had a short but very pleasant stay in NZ recently and thought we'd like to finish with a bit of a treat so chose Kauri Villas. We were so pleased we did. There is not much we can add, since this accommodation already rates very highly on TA, but it is so good it is worth reiterating that the... More

We were encouraged to book this place owing to their great ratings on Trip Advisor and the stay certainly lived up to our expectations. The Villa is on a small hill overlooking the Whangarei Bay and you have... More
