The property is part of what was once the Harbour Lights campground - now a small group of privately owned holiday units sharing a peaceful, coastal setting. It’s quiet, laid-back, and full of classic Kiwi holiday charm.
There’s also communal seating on the front lawn, shared with neighbouring unit owners - a great spot to enjoy the view or have a friendly chat.

Staying as a Group?
We also manage several other waterfront units in this quiet block, including The Beach Hut and The Boat Shed, a nearby two-bedroom bach. If you`re travelling with others or looking for more space, feel free to check our profile or message us for availability. Great for small groups who want a mix of shared time and private space.

We manage the apartment for the owners. It is set up for self check-in, and we will always be available if you need us. We live close by and find it is usually best communicating through the booking app or via text messages.
We strive to ensure you have everything you need in order to have a comfortable, relaxing and carefree stay. We are here to answer questions and assist in any way we can, and are always happy to help.

One Tree Point is a relaxed coastal community on the shores of Whangārei Harbour, perfect for a low-key getaway. It’s mostly quiet year-round and has a great holiday vibe during the summer, offering a mix of peaceful seaside living and easy access to local spots.

The area is great for walking and biking, and you’re just a short stroll from the Marsden Cove Marina, where you’ll find several options for dining, including breakfast, coffee, and dinner by the water. For beach time, swim at high tide just out front, or drive 10 minutes to the surf at Ruakākā Beach.

Boat ramps at One Tree Point and the Marsden Cove Marina are just minutes away, and you’ll find groceries, takeaways and fuel close by at the Four Square or Ruakākā Shopping Centre.

Historic Waipū village is also an easy drive, with its museum, cafés and boutique shops, and on the way is the Waipū Golf Course, a scenic public course right on the waterfront at Bream Bay.

These waterfront units are part of what was once the Harbour Lights campground - now a laid-back group of holiday apartments. The views across the harbour to Mount Manaia and the port are always changing. Whether you`re here to explore, unwind, or stay for work, it’s an easy place to settle in.

There’s no public transport in the area, so you’ll need your own car. It’s also a great area for walking and biking. If you’re out for a ride or stroll, we recommend stopping at the Marsden Cove Marina, where you’ll find a few great spots for coffee, brunch, or dinner by the water.

The beach is great for swimming at full tide and still lovely to explore when the tide is out

The laundry is in the storage shed in the carport and is shared with The Lookout (one of the other apartments - No.6)
