We provide a comfortable, clean and well equipped flat for your stay. It's in the Perfect place to take advantage of all the Bay of Islands has to offer. It's a quiet, secluded property minutes from Opua centre and Paihia beaches and Restaurants. We live upstairs and will normally be here to welcome you into your private apartment. You have your own fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, bathroom with shower and large lounge with 2 comfy sofas, a TV with free-view and an outside dining area.
We have been hosting since 2016 and enjoy meeting the variety of people who visit the area. We live in one of the most beautiful parts of NZ and love to share tips and insights with visitors. We have sailed extensively in different countries and oceans and now keep our boat here in Opua.
On the cycle track and minutes from Opua's marina, Boatyard, Cruising Club and General Store we are ideally situated as a relaxing base for your day trips and adventures in the Bay of Islands. Waitangi and Russell are popular attractions for our visitors as are the day trips out in the Bay on one of the many charter boats or ferries that ply the waters. The Kerikeri Farmers Market on a Saturday is not to be missed and there are numerous walks around the area taking in native forests, rivers, waterfalls and coastal tracks. Local vineyards are close by and provide excellent lunch stops in the summer.
