Northland adventures.
The location is amazing with fantastic views. The one bedroom is small but we made it work. The staff are friendly and helpful. Easy access to lot's of things in the Northland.
We had a great time staying at Driftwood, the hotel is superbly located. We upgraded to the suite upstairs as were allocated a room right next to reception with no view so keep that in mind, but otherwise and overall a great stay.
