Set between two beaches and nestled in the friendly Tapeka community, this brilliant location offers easterly sea views across the popular snorkeling beach at Rocky Bay Reserve. To the west, there is a boat ramp and long sandy beach at Tapeka Point, providing more options for safe swimming and fishing. This indulgent accommodation has been carefully decorated to create a warm, welcoming and chic space to call home. Catch yourself sitting out on the outdoor lounge suite on the top balcony, admiring the ocean views while you read a good book or sip a glass of wine. The contemporary must-haves are on site, including unlimited WiFi, a TV with Chromecast and Freeview. Retreat at Tapeka Point sleeps up to eight guests with four bedrooms across two storeys, including a master bedroom with an ensuite for added convenience. Each bedroom is elegant and well-furnished, offering the ideal place to rest your head at the end of each day. You're in a prime location here, just a five-minute drive to picturesque Long Beach for days spent down on the sand enjoying this lovely area. The Okiato to Russell track is a scenic and pleasant walk along the waterfront and through native bush and wetland flats. Keen walkers can complete the trail in half a day, or stroll a shorter stretch, stopping at a cafe along the way! You can take a ferry to the treaty grounds at Waitangi, or Paihia across the bay, or sign up for any of the large range of activities available in the beautiful Bay of Islands. The gorgeous Paroa Bay Winery is within driving distance if wine tasting is up your alley, or the Omata Estate Boutique Winery for a slightly more casual, but no less scrumptious experience. Check out historic Russell, New Zealand's first capital, and get immersed in the heritage and history of Aotearoa with a visit to Russell Museum or the iconic Pompallier Mission and Printery. Indulge yourself in the thriving retail scene, and dine out in style or simplicity on the waterfront. A special find with a touch of Kiwi magic awaits, here at the Retreat at Tapeka Point!
