The Laughing Dove is down a quiet cul- de- sac street, with plenty of decking space around the house, looking out on to a sloping lawn and across the estuary. It is a 10-15 minute walk to Te Haumi beach and a 5 minute drive into paihia township. The house itself is on the bottom floor of two houses with you own private entrance and decking space.
Hi I'm Matt I've lived locally in the bay of islands for many years now. Work as a tour guide for my own business. I love to get out on the water here in the bay and also love mountain biking, that is where I spend a lot of my time at the Waitangi Bike park. Done alot of traveling myself and love to meet people from all different walks of life.
The Laughing dove is down a peaceful st with friendly neighbors. Also right on the doorstep of the bay of islands. So many beautiful places to go see and plenty of activities to do.
