Vacation home in Sunny Bay of Islands

Three bedroom home in Te Haumi, Paihia with well maintained cottage garden. Cute Lockwood, super sunny, and fully furnished. Many happy hours can be spent in this home with large deck and a peep of the sea. A short walk up the hill to get a panoramic view of the beautiful Bay of Islands. Just the right place for an easy holiday.

Surrounded by native bush with the awesome songs of the tui's in early morning, and the native Moreporks and even kiwi at night.

You're only minutes away from all the bay has to offer.

This is a great place to stay, loads of books and indoor games to enjoy,
Fully fenced section so OK for Pets.

Please bring own sleeping bags, sheets & pillow cases, bath mat & towels, tea towels or contact owners to arrange onsite provision
Rubbish day is Tuesday. Prepaid rubbish bags available at the Countdown or Four Square in Paihia. Please ensure you remove all of your own rubbish and recyclables unless prior arrangements made.
Shoes off at door, Please

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Cleaning supplies provided including sanitising products. Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Great spot
Very good.Location excellent.Comfortable house.Pricing very reasonable.A source of minor annoyance was that the owners were still at the property well after agreed check-in time,requiring us to wait in the car on the road untill they left.Also they later returned to the house. On balance we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this listing. Alan J.

Amazing in Paihia
Great family space with beautiful garden and deck area with hammocks that were enjoyed immensely. Loads of books, toys for the 3 year old. excellent kitchen, very well equipped. Will very likely make a return trip as the area is full of historical significance and plenty more to see.

Lovely place to stay
Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home. The property was situated close to Paihia and the garden provided a lovely setting for an easter egg hunt for the kids. Our daughter was particularly enamoured with the fish in the pond.

Best place to stay in the north
This was such a great place to stay in Paihia. It was a cozy, bright, and welcoming house in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the beautiful Bay of Islands. The yard and surrounding forest made the place feel like you were miles away from everything. Thanks for letting us stay at your place!
