Garden Bliss & Bird Sanctuary in Paihia Estuary

We're both born and bred in Germany. After becoming a couple, we started our journey all over the world until we arrived in beautiful New Zealand in 2013. We created a nice lifestyle in the Bay of Islands - and it seems we're here for good!

During your stay, there might be other holiday guests in the second, separate flat upstairs. There's no internal access and both have their own entrance and driveway, therefore there's guaranteed privacy. But if you have any questions or wishes, we're just up the road.

Nicely tucked away in a cul-de-sac with ultimate privacy but still very close to town and all amenities! Bush and ocean meet here with all its native flora and birds!

We're right between Paihia and the car ferry in Opua - both 4 minutes away. The next boat ramp is only 1 minutes away, right next to the Te Haumi river joining the ocean.

Enjoy your stay in Paihia in our super comfy semi-rural family home. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac, with a stunning views over the native bush and you can see the Te Haumi river meandering through the mangroves.

Far away from the big city noise but so close to town for excursions, restaurants, adventures, history and even if it's just for drinks.

The whole upstairs area with over 140 sqm is yours. The house has lots of character, lots of space, with a couple of touch ups from our home country as well as local art.
