The perfect base for a stay in the Bay of Islands area - John and Audrey are wonderful, friendly, informative hosts and the location, accommodation and food are excellent. If (hopefully when!) we are again able to visit this area, this would certainly be our first choice of where to stay.

We selected this b&b from their web site and the reality was even more stunning.Whilst there are a few surrounding properties you hardly notice them and it was quiet and peaceful at all times. The location was very handy to Paihia for shops and restaurants,the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, and just a short ferry crossing to Russell. Audrey and John were... More

John Audrey are the most gracious and accommodating couple we have found. Breakfasts are everything you can imagine from hot foods to fruits, cereals, home made jams and yoghurts. Their local knowledge of places to visit are spot on and they are also very interesting to get to know. Room was very comfortable and clean always. Loved the spa with... More

First rate B&B, thoroughly lives up to the other comments posted on here. We booked after reading the Trip advisor reviews and were not disappointed. Breakfast made to order, really good quality food. Views from this lovely quiet B&B were outstanding, this was our first real night in NZ after leaving the Airport Motel used for our arrival night, to... More

Quite differently from the South Island here on the North... More

We arrived at Point Veronica to be met by a surprised Audrey and John!!! Our arrival was one day early! But we still received a warm welcome. The views from Point Veronica are amazing, looking out over the Bay of Islands and Russell. John and Audrey have a wonderful knowledge of the area they live in and are only happy... More

Jacuzi with a view. A quiet spot away from the bustle of Opua, with a cracking view. First class breakfast, all mod cons.

We booked our stay at Point Veronica Lodge because we liked the view and the location from the pictures shown on TripAdvisor. What we didn't realise was the the twisty road and gradients required to get there - however, John's driving instructions were perfect and the drive was well worth it at journey's end. John and Audrey really are the... More

This was our second stay, following an earlier trip in 2006, and it says much about the place that it was the first accommodation we booked on this trip from the UK. The location of the property is stunning with clear views out to sea and in to the surrounding bush. The rooms are spotless, bright and welcoming and of... More
