The Boat House Houhora

Welcome to ‘The Boathouse’! This brand new build comes complete with three queen bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sunroom and a fully functional kitchen. All of this is located in Houhora, a short stroll from all the local amenities including Pukenui Village and Houhora Big Game & Fishing Club. With Cape Reinga within an hours drive and beautiful beaches such as Rarawa, Henderson’s Bay and Ninety Mile Beach within twenty minutes it’s hard not to find somewhere to relax and unwind in the Far North.
