About this property
DAVINAS - Beach-front Holiday Apartment
The apartment is located right on Coopers beach, elevated enough to see the incredible views across Doubtless Bay with a very short walk across the lawn straight onto the golden sand beach.
Located underneath the main house with its own private entrance; there are three bedrooms with 5 beds, one bathroom and a great deck to enjoy the views!
The apartment has a full kitchen and seated dining area, a BBQ or try the many nearby cafes and restaurants.
Kayaks, bodyboards and a paddleboard are available for sea-lovers, or stay on terra-firma and be king of the sand-castles, building your sand-mansion in the shade of the pohutukawa trees.
Coopers Beach Village (3min drive) has all the essentials for your holiday including a Four Square, Butcher, Beach Box Cafe, Thirsty Liquor, Pharmacy, Tackle Shop, Medical Centre and hair salon.
Or head in the other direction to Mangonui Village for arts and crafts, fabulous ice-cream shop (c'mon ice-cream nachos!), restaurants and cafes including the famous Mangonui Fish Shop.
Mill Bay boat ramp is 3 min drive - bring your boat and explore the harbour!
Davinas on the Beach is the perfect base to explore the Far North:
Day trip to Cape Reinga, Te Paki stream, 90 Mile Beach.
Explore the Kerikeri, Whangaroa, Paihia.
David and Ina (Davinas) built this property as their forever home. A special place to enjoy their retirement fishing, swimming, and spending time with friends and family. They added the unit downstairs to host their children and grandchildren for school holidays, birthdays and Christmas to make incredible memories at the beach as a family.
David and Ina loved sharing their little piece of paradise with people from all over the world so that people could create their own memories at Coopers Beach.
Their son, Brett now looks after the property and will be your Host during your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Brett Shalders
David and Ina (Davinas) built this property as their forever home. A special place to enjoy their retirement fishing, swimming, and spending time with friends and family. They decided to add the unit downstairs to host their children and grandchildren for school holidays, birthdays and Christmas to make incredible memories at the beach as a family.
Over time, they decided to share their little piece of paradise with people from all over the world and opened DAVINAs so that people could create their own memories at Coopers Beach.
Sadly, David and Ina are no longer with us but they wanted people to continue to come to Coopers to relax and have a wonderful holiday. Their son, Brett now looks after the property and will be your point of contact during your stay.
