About this house rental
This property is situated in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Elevated on the hill, the property offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, stretching right out to the magnificent Cavalli Islands.
The beach house features two bedrooms: one with a queen-size bed and the other with a single-over-double bunk. The lawn provides a little space for children to play when you're not at the beach, lagoon or estuary. Enjoy a barbecue on the deck while you watch the sun go down with a glass of wine.
A lovely estuary and lagoon provide safe places for children to play, and a central reef offers divers plenty to explore. There are numerous fishing spots known for yielding some very impressive catches. With the Cavalli Islands close by (just a 15-minute boat ride) and the surrounding coastline, there are fantastic dive sites, including the famous Rainbow Warrior.
A private beach with gated access and a very friendly, safe community environment, there is lots to see and do. Tapuaetahi is situated 20 minutes from Kerikeri and 40 minutes from Paihia, although you may find it hard to leave this beautiful beach.

What an amazing location! We used the bach as a base to visit beautiful Kerikeri, as well as Paiha, Russell and many more locations. It was great to return somewhere secluded after the summer crowds.The lagoon and beach are beautiful. Our 7-year loved it.Mariao is an excellent communicator, making sure we felt welcome and prepared for our stay.
