Stunning Coastal Views in Native Kiwi Zone
Kingfisher Cottage, Coastal and family friendly. Forty minutes from Kerikeri, just north of the Bay of Islands.
Tucked into a native kiwi-zone ( yes we hear them most nights). Watch the sunrise over the bay from the comfort of your superking bed or relax on the outdoor furniture.. Lovely indoor/outdoor living with large sliding doors opening onto an expansive deck. This character filled cottage has - freeview satellite tv, wifi, microwave, dishwasher etc., plus a well stocked bookcase and plenty of boardgames and childrens toys.
Many beautiful safe sandy beaches close by (5min) and great boat launching within easy reach. Excellent diving and fishing all minutes away. Whangaroa Harbour is just over the hill and Kauri Cliffs Golf course 20 minutes down the road, also handy to Whangaroa Golf course. Kerikeri 40 minutes away with excellent amenities - restaurants, cafes, great shopping, two large supermarkets, movie theatre, airport etc.
Dive the Rainbow Warrior wreck at Cavalli Islands (within sight of the cottage), take an easy day trip to Cape Reinga or have an evening meal at the famous Mangonui Fishshop over the water at Mangonui.
Special conditions:
Ask about long stay cheap winter rates, between June - October.
Summer rates -$200 per night for 4 people, up to 6 people an extra $30 per person per night.
Minimum 2 night stay
Extras: Linen (Required, NZ$30.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

About the area
Kaeo
Located in Kaeo, this holiday home is in a rural area and by the sea.
