About this property

Tranquil & private house, w/outdoor pool, rural setting close to beaches & hikes

Green View at Whangarei Heads is what this peaceful and tranquil, tastefully decorated house offers you. With stunning views all around with rolling hills, a distant sea view and a pool to enjoy, the house can accommodate 12 people. 5 bedrooms, 2 king with en-suites, 3 queen - one with bunk beds. Main bathroom with bath / shower also.

This is the perfect place to stay to unwind from city life and enjoy summer breaks. Green View is a very private and quiet space.

Local fabulous beaches and walking hikes to suit all levels of fitness abound.

We are approximately a 30 minute drive out of Whangarei City so you definitely need a car. There is no public transport or Uber and Taxi's can be very expensive. It is a lovely coastal drive however.

There is a airport in Whangarei if you wanted to fly up from Auckland for instance and here you could arrange a hire car.

It is a good idea to buy any groceries you may need in the city or nearby Onerahi. However there are some shops in the village, supermarket included.

Sadly, due to a change in local council bylaws pets are no longer allowed at the property as the house is in a high density kiwi area.

A beautiful home with loads of space for everyone!
We loved our time at Green View. Such a magnificent home with peaceful rural location but yet still conveniently close to all amnesties. The house catered to all needs with expansive space for everyone ranging in ages from under 2 through to teens and adults. The pool was a big hit for everyone. Kathy is a wonderful host and very accommodating and so helpful. Beautiful home and highly recommend.

Stunning property
Kathy's place is simply incredible with so many thoughtful touches. The views were stunning, the beds were comfy, the living areas were spacious and functional. Myself and 10 other friends had an amazing time here, and felt like we had this slice of paradise all to ourselves! Communication was easy and prompt throughout the booking experience and our stay. I would highly recommend booking with Kathy and Adrian for an incredible getaway!

Spacious Retreat
A spacious holiday home inside and out that could accommodate everyone comfortably including our 2 family dogs and my wheelchair. Comfy beds, beautiful pool, 3 great bathrooms and toilets, self contained studio (very roomy) with own deck and lovely views with a peep of the water. Kathy is so great to deal with and she was also easy to get in touch with. She had put together lots of great touches that made our stay more comfortable and homely. Our grandaughter loved the animals. Lots of lovely bays to visit just a short drive away and shops a few minutes away too. Thankyou for your hospitality Kathy, we had a very relaxing comfortable stay.

We had the most amazing weekend away. This cozy place is nestled among mountains and all you can see for miles and miles is green pasture. Everything was just perfect. The host was amazing to deal with . Thank you so much Kathy 💓

Not Happy
Just be careful when booking this property. The washing machine broke down apparently flooding the floor (the property had already been vacated) so was news to us. VRBO took $1500 out of our account as a claim. The owner went and bought a brand new top of the line washing machine for $1279.00 plus $99 delivery fee, I have a copy of the tax invoice she also had a quote to fix her broken machine for $685.46, however they couldn't fix the machine for another 2 months so she bought a new expensive machine. Whilst googling the model make and number of the broken machine I found that it retailed between $600 & $900 depending on what year it was bought. Also fair to note that the new machine was delivered to another address. So be careful when staying that you make sure that all appliances / property are photographed because I'd hate you to have to pay for a high end fridge. I feel scammed

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

Host profile image
I have been hosting guests for 4 years and I absolutely love it. I used to travel a great deal with work so I know first-hand how the little touches help you feel 'at home'. I am always happy to be contacted beforehand if you wish to request any special touches before your arrival. If I can accommodate your wishes I certainly will.

I like to ensure that guests have a lovely and relaxing stay :)

Why they chose this property

We are very close to some of Northlands stunning beaches if you love to surf or kite surf, the furthest being 20 minutes away and the nearest about 12 minutes! There are walking tracks for all levels of fitness from Mount Manaia, Smugglers Cove, Reotahi Walkway and Mount Aubrey. I am happy to advise more on the area during your stay.

There is a local tennis court, local cafes, tavern, golf course, horse riding and fishing charters with diving also at the Poor Knights. Some great eateries are local and the Parua Bay Tavern.
