My wife and I travelled NZ for seven weeks. Kauri Villas was the best accommodation experience of the entire trip. If you are looking for a little rest and relaxation, beautiful scenery, traditional Kiwi charm combined with luxurious surroundings, then this is the place for you! Enjoy!

Jewel of Whangarei Heads
This is a beautiful gem nestle among the lush bush on top of a little hideaway hill providing a near 360 degree view of the surrounding including the tranquil water in the distance. I have been visiting Whangarei for the good part of the past 40 years and this one tops the list of charm, serenity and top class hospitality from the hosts Andrea and Mike. The breakfast provided by the IT savvy part time chef Mike was just perfect.

On our last night in New Zealand, we decided to stay in Kauri Villas B&B instead of apartments or hotels - and boy, were we blown away! First the suite that we stayed in was spacious - 2 bedrooms and a living area. Also the host was so gracious and friendly, and served us a delicious breakfast cooked to order! More importantly we had a chance to get to know how the locals live. And we got a chance to see some sheep, 2 friendly cats, and chickens! The property is a little far from Whangarei, so account for that if you choose to stay here.

Winter business trip
This is a lovely property and I enjoyed the change from staying in standard hotel rooms. A bit more than just your average B&B with friendly service and a very tasty home cooked breakfast. Great views from the dining room over the pool out to Parua Bay. Would love to take the family back in Summer.

We were made very welcome by our hosts. Lovely property with beautiful views over the Bay. Spacious rooms with everything we needed. Peaceful setting so we could hear the birds and watched the sunset. Just a few minutes drive from the main village.

Hated to leave
Terrific place. Peaceful, quiet and with spectacular views of the bay. Lovely grounds and good forest trails right on the property. My traveling partner was sick for a couple days and Pauline and Colleen took care of him like he was family. Close to Whangerai Heads hiking and beaches and the good and friendly Parua Bay Tavern. Now we just need a reason to get back to NZ for another stay!

A fantastic place to stay, the hosts are very friendly and helpful. A lovely pool although we had little opportunity to sample it due to poor weather. Fantastic views in a great area. We had the smaller of the suites. Although the bedroom was small this was not a problem as there is a second small bedroom where we could put suitcases etc and also a large private lounge. There is nowhere to eat within walking distance although the hosts will serve dinner by arrangement and I think there is a guest kitchen. To use the washer or drier costs 6nzd each per load.

Great B&B with lots of room
Our family stayed in the villas for two nights during our driving tour of NZ. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and can cook a great breakfast. Our private space had two bedrooms, bath, living room, and porch area. There was also public living room, pool, hot tub, and porch. Breakfasts were fantastic and had different options each morning. We would definitely stay here again.

The staff were unusual and the food was average. The decking was broken in places around the pool and the pool gates were left open. There was just a general lack of care about the place.
