Vacation home in Sunny Bay of Islands

Three bedroom home in Te Haumi, Paihia with well maintained cottage garden. Cute Lockwood, super sunny, and fully furnished. Many happy hours can be spent in this home with large deck and a peep of the sea. A short walk up the hill to get a panoramic view of the beautiful Bay of Islands. Just the right place for an easy holiday.

Surrounded by native bush with the awesome songs of the tui's in early morning, and the native Moreporks and even kiwi at night.

You're only minutes away from all the bay has to offer.

This is a great place to stay, loads of books and indoor games to enjoy,
Fully fenced section so OK for Pets.
Special conditions:
Please bring own sleeping bags, sheets & pillow cases, bath mat & towels, tea towels or contact owners to arrange onsite provision

Shoes off at door, Please

What a lovely place and such awesome hosts! Aside from the house ventilation being a bit noisy and firm (but still comfortable enough) beds, these were quite minor considering the price range for such a lovely space. We are very grateful, and we are looking forward to our next visit - thank you so much Marg and Des!

Not the first time we've stayed here and hopefully not the last. Cosy idyllic holiday home that provides more than you could need.Only a 2 minute drive to the main beach and Paihia town/shops.Hosts are lovely. We usually stay in very nice hotels and this place was booked last time by us out of urgency & it totally changed my perception of booking a bach. We would gladly return here over and over.
