Group Family & Friends Holiday
Perfect summer holiday Northland getaway for three families with children. All the kids were downstairs and parents upstairs. Two kitchens was a bonus. Dave was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Had magical last night dinner picnic on the front lawn.

A slice of paradise tucked away in the bay
If you're looking for a quintessential waterfront kiwi bach experience in the sheltered Bay of Islands, this is your place!
What's not to love about this spot... the home was a beautiful balance of modern living and classic bach life... everything you need, and nothing you don't. We descended here for a family celebration (12 of us) and it was super comfortable with lots of space for everyone.
It's incredibly private, in part thanks to the stunning location, and also the beach access (make sure you check the tides so you don't try and arrive an hour or so either side of high tide) :)
We made good use of the kayaks, paddle boards and complimentary beach towels (the water is literally on your doorstep).
Lots of fridge space and a great kitchen made home catering easy and Dave (our host) was a real gem.
We definitely hope to be back one day!
