Detailed Reviews
Two nights was definitely not enough! This place is amazing! Absolutely loved staying here. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment but only used 1 of the rooms as we booked for 1 bedroom. Had everything you would need for your stay plus more. The towels are super luxurious, the bathroom products smelt delicious, The views were spectacular. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back if we ever go up those ways again. And would 110% recommend to anyone. Thank you both so much 😊

The Doubtless Bay Villas are spectacular. I am traveling solo and wanted to stay in a place with a gorgeous view, close to the beach, and beautiful. The Villas are all of these and much more. Jane and Mark are the most gracious hosts - they helped me with ideas for places to eat, places to go and were there anytime I needed a hand. They were welcoming and kind. I was in a studio with a patio overlooking the bay, you hear the waves all night and the clear nights I was there the stars were awe inspiring. The studio has a comfy bed, two big comfy chairs, a table were I did my work , and the kitchenette with tea and treats. The bathroom is perfect, I loved the shower, with great water pressure and an easy walk in design. The space was well laid out and enjoyable.
Definitely will return!
Thank you for a wonderful get away.

Sited on the East coast of North Island in Northland NZ this is great place to stay. The views over the Bay are stunning with plenty of other Bays and attractions nearby. Manganui is close by with places to eat and shop but if you need peace and quiet stay in and eat at your apartment. The views are too good to miss and the Villas clean, tidy and well appointed. The owners are very welcoming and can’t do enough for you. Highly recommended.

The place was clean and bright though the room was a little cramped. It was good location with a nice view and a 5-10 minute walk down a hill to the local beach but a car was needed to go shopping, etc. We had to make last minute changes to our booking due to flight issues and found the hosts very accommodating and pleasant. The bathroom and shower were great but the foam mattresses were soft and hard on the back.

Thanks for your review. Upon reading it we feel that when booking accommodation in future you probably need to pay greater attention to the thorough description given, room size details clearly listed and the area that you are booking in, as your comments suggest you did not do enough reading/research or look at the pictures of what you booked.

Amazing views! The apartments are well appointed, and contain everything you may need. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with two couples and there is plenty of room. The bathrooms are lovely with nice soft towels. The place is spotlessly clean. Mark was very welcoming, helpful and we felt like nothing was too much trouble. I can’t rate this place highly enough. We will definitely be back.

The studio was immaculately clean, nicely equipped and with absolutely stunning views. V comfortable bed and brilliant shower room. The hosts were superb and knowledgeable and were available to help with anything you needed. This is in a simply stunning location. Sadly we only stayed for three nights and wish we had stayed longer.

We had a couple of nights staying in a studio with fabulous views across the bay - probably some of the best I have seen in NZ. Being a studio it had limited space but was comfortable and had most of the usual amenities that you would expect. It’s a drive to any local shops etc but it’s definitely worth considering. Enjoy…….

Modern three story villas where you can rent one, two or three of the floors to accommodate the size of your party. Beautiful panoramic views of the bay from atop a hill in an upscale neighborhood. Mark and Jane, the managers, are lovely and eager to assist in any way.

An amazing experience- the views were magic, and the villa spacious and lovely. The kitchen worked well, having extra bathrooms was helpful, and i loved playing music through the bluetooth sound system. Our hosts were super friendly, and helpful with advice on things to do. Would stay again
