In a quiet position, high on the hill overlooking Paihia and the ocean, Allegra House is in the heart of the Bay of Islands. It's just a five-minute walk downhill into the town and it's also close to the passenger ferry across to the historic town of Russell.
Its simple, elegant décor and friendly welcome make this a fantastic place to include in your trip to New Zealand. The whole property faces the ocean and all rooms open on to the decks, taking in the views and leading down to the gardens. All rooms have the use of the first-floor lounge and dining room where a continental breakfast is served.
OUR OPINION:
A great value option, with fantastic views over the Bay of Islands. Heinz and Brita are extremely friendly and welcoming hosts, who are more than happy to recommend and book excursions for guests.
