My partner and I stayed at Cap'n Bob's for 2 nights. We came in peak season so the car parking was full every night. The first night we had a baby next door so no sleep in for us as the wall between our room and the next was thin. The view from the balcony of the Bay of Islands... More

Stayed for 2 nights in this guesthouse during our trip. Room was clean and comfortable and we had heating blankets to keep us warm while we sleep. You get a sea view from the balcony which is great if it is not raining. Kitchen is of a decent size. Location wise, it is walking distance to supermarket but not many... More

We rented out the en-suite double room for two days, with the extra money for an en-suite being well worth it. The room came with a beautiful view of the sea and the mountains.

We only had time to stay for 2 nights but found the hostal clean well located fabulous view for eating on the balcony and a great manager who took care to chat to eveyone and helped with onward bookings.

Jo (the manager/owner) works hard to make your stay here as comfortable as possible - and succeeds! Clean, comfortable rooms and plenty of space in the kitchen/dining area. Take breakfast on the balcony as the sun rises over the hill and watch the Bay come alive. Unbeatable.
