House and accommodation
The apartment floor is a private area dedicated to our guests, it has its own driveway, safe off street parking, private entrance and access directly to the garden. The fully fitted self contained apartment has 2 bedrooms - for your family, friends, or enjoy some luxury for yourself.
Our location is scenic and central! Share our gorgeous private views over the Whangarei valley. 2 minutes driving to supermarkets, pubs and cafés, walking distance to the Subtropical Quarry Garden and the ASB sports grounds.
We live in a modern house with a lovely sunny position and great views overlooking the Whangarei valley. Opposite is the impressive Mount Parihaka (an extinct volcano with ancient Maori Pa).
We have a mature lush garden leading onto a scenic reserve which means that we get lots of relatively rare native birds flying in and around the garden. You’ll probably hear fat wood pigeons flapping over your head, Tui singing weirdly, or meet some of the cheeky fantails flitting around within touching distance. In the garden you can also play Badminton, throw a rugby ball or frisbee, explore the native plants or just relax and read a book on the deck or patio.

We're about 30 minutes drive from the Whangarei Heads, the Tutukaka Coast and Bream Bay, exactly 1 hour's drive from Paihia in the Bay of Islands.
