  • North - Opua
    An absolute waterfront cottage in a quiet, peaceful location with wonderful sea views, make this the perfect ‘get away from it all’ accommodation. While you feel like you are a world away from anything in this serene location, you are only a 5-10 minute drive to the bustling town of Paihia with holiday activities, shops and restaurants.

The house sleeps a maximum of 4 people (Bedroom 1: King Bed with Deck Views, Bedroom 2: 2 x Single Beds).

    This spotless, well-appointed home features a large kitchen and open plan living and dining which leads onto a large sunny sea facing deck. Watch the boats sail by night and day, relaxing on the deck or inside the living room on comfortable couches. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner with a view and the addition of a Weber BBQ outdoors means you can enjoy the classic kiwi fare too.

    The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to self-cater. A full washing machine and dryer is available as well. All linen is provided for the bedrooms and bathroom.
