Description

This beautifully restored historic homestead (B‑rating) has been in our family since it was moved to its current site in 1885. It was once run as an accommodation house by my great‑grandmother, Jane Morris, and later by my grandmother, Kathleen Morris. Flat 5 carries that heritage with pride, while offering the comfort and style of a full renovation completed in 2016.

Step inside and feel as though you’ve travelled back in time. The apartment is decorated in a traditional, elegant style that creates an immediate sense of charm and calm. It has real WOW factor — cool and breezy in summer, cosy and welcoming in winter.

Flat 5 is fully equipped for a relaxed, independent stay, including a modern, fully functioning kitchen, washing machine and dryer, and two bathrooms for added convenience.

Set right on the Opua beachfront, you’ll wake to the sound of gulls and sweeping views across the Bay. A wrap‑around deck provides the perfect vantage point for watching boats drift in and out, the ferry crossing, the ever‑changing colours of the water and the gentle rhythm of coastal life.

Everything is close by:
• 100 metres to the car ferry and general store
• Another 100 metres to the marina and café
• Only 5 km by road to Paihia or Russell

The coastal walkway between Opua and Paihia is a stunning adventure, and several other beautiful tracks are just minutes away. This is also the perfect starting point for the Twin Coast Cycle Trail.

Flat 5 is simply an exceptional base for a relaxing, rejuvenating holiday and an ideal launchpad for exploring the Bay of Islands and the Far North.

Please note: A separate downstairs apartment sleeping up to 4 guests is also available.

Special Conditions:
• No smoking anywhere on the property — indoors or outdoors — due to the historic nature of the building
• No naked flames (including candles)
• No pets
• One vehicle per apartment in the carpark; additional parking available on the roadside nearby
