About this property

Modern private cabin, breathtaking ocean & bush views, natural light & quiet

Escape to our modern private cabin for a peaceful getaway. It has its own entrance with plenty of easy parking, even parking for the boat. Sit on the deck looking out across the water to Russell (first Capital of NZ) and decide what you would like to do while in the Bay of Islands, visit Waitangi Treaty Grounds, take the bus to the very top of NZ Cape Reinga, take a boat trip with Explore NZ out to the Hole in the Rock and stop at Otehei Bay for a yummy lunch and swim. Visit Central Paihia and look around the many shops, Restaurants, Cafes on offer. There's lots of walks to do in the area if your into an adventure or jump on a Mountain Bike & explore the Waitangi Mountain Bike Park, its the best! The passenger ferries depart to Russell every 20minutes, the car ferry departs from Opua every 15minutes. Lots of beautiful restaurants in Russell too.
A night sky perfect for stargazing on the large north facing private deck.
Blackout curtains are just perfect for a good night's sleep.

Fantastic View and Place

We loved our stay - the cabin is beautifully decorated with everything you need - including great bedside lights. Away from the crazy bustle of the town. The view was absolutely stunning - both of the Bay of Islands and the bush. Even got visited by a Morepork one night :). Loved it here - would highly recommend.
