Entire House for a Relaxing Family Getaway – Bay of Islands

Looking for the perfect spot for your next family holiday This private retreat in the heart of the stunning Bay of Islands offers everything you need for a peaceful and memorable escape.

Surrounded by native trees, the home feels like a secluded treehouse hideaway, offering privacy, tranquility, and a strong connection to nature. With a spacious open-plan layout, the house feels light, airy, and ideal for spending quality time together. In the cooler months, cozy up by the fireplace—it’s the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.

The home includes a separate wing that can be closed off with a secure fire door, ideal for extended family or added privacy.

Location highlights:

2.5km scenic walk to the main town – perfect for a morning stroll
700m walk to Te Haumi Beach – a hidden local gem
2.5km to the Ōpua car ferry – easy access to Russell
20-minute drive to Kerikeri – home to the best farmers market in the North Island
Important notes:

The driveway is steep and may not be suitable for all vehicles
There are stairs both inside and outside the home, though there is alternative access without stairs if needed
Whether you're planning a family reunion, a group holiday, or just looking to unwind in nature, this home offers the perfect base to experience the magic of the Bay of Islands.

    We had a fantastic time, the bach was beautiful and well maintained had everything we needed. The kids were entertained even when we were rained in for the first 3 days! Thank you so much would definitely stay here again! :)

    The host was welcoming and good communication. One issue was the beds have no top sheets and this is quite unusual - and the duvets were too heavy for summer. For a summer booking it is necessary to have top and bottom sheets for a comfortable sleep. Secondly, one of the downstairs bedrooms has no curtains - and while very private there is no way to block out the early morning light.

    House was spacious - not realising stairs were abit steep & high for parents as the elderly & have knee issues.

    This holiday home is a lovely little spot! The location gives the impression that you are surrounded by bush, but town is just a 5 minute drive away! The home was beautiful and easy to navigate! Thank you!

    Lovely beachy feeling cottage, teens loved the loft sleeping area. Sunny and fireplace made it super cosy. Driveway was pretty steep, but otherwise perfect. Beautiful bush outlook.

    Perfect for our family(including a baby) to stay for a long weekend. Plenty of room for us all to have our own space. Parking a little difficult but doable.

    We had a lovely time with our family over from Australia. The weather was rainy so couldn't fully enjoy the views from the property but the house was decorated very homely. Very clean (bar a few spider webs) and easy with the bedding and linen provided (no face clothes though). Only thing we would suggest for change is that the property number is made more visible on the street or in the instructions sent after booking as we drove past the driveway a couple of times in the dark before we found it. Definitely recommend though. We enjoyed our stay.
