Kanuka Bay - water view, peaceful.



Come and relax on the deck with stunning water views. In the evening you can sit in the private 4 person spa pool and hear Kiwi, Morepork and Weka calling. Watch the start and end of the boat racing Wednesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons in summer while enjoying a drink on the deck!

We are 7 minutes drive to Russell Township where you will find cafe's, restaurants and shops. Also close by are all the stunning beaches the Bay of Islands has to offer where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, surfing, sunbathing or just a casual stroll. Within 3 minutes walk is the start of the scenic boardwalk/bushwalk to Russell or explore Okiato, the area that was once New Zealand's first capital. Paihia is a short drive away (8KM) via the Car Ferry. Within a 2min drive is the Omata Estate Vineyard.

There are plenty of tourist attractions on offer in the area. The unit contains a folder with a good selection of brochures we are sure that you will find something that suits your taste.

The unit is modern and comfortable for up to 4 people. The double glazed windows keep it warm in the cooler months. Good quality bedding, linen and towels are included with the cost. The Full sized kitchen has a full fridge/freezer and full oven and hob. All furniture including a Smart T.V. for those rainy days.

We do ask that you do not use antibacterial soaps in the flat as it destroyes our on site sewerage system. Thank you.

Tidy 2 bedroom unit attached to the end of the hosts house. Felt private and uninterrupted. Quiet street. Beautiful outlook over Opua marina from the deck and spa. TV not working properly but hosts were going to get fixed. Easy driving distance to Russell but not really easy walking access to get to the beach. Overall a nice place to stay and region to explore

Excellent property, fabulous view.
Jenny’s place is spotlessly clean and very spacious for a couple or family of four. It is well equipped with everything you need to cook a meal and the beds are comfortable. The view from the deck and indeed the living room is spectacular and the whole area of Russell is gorgeous. I would highly recommend a stay here.
