About this cottage rental
North - Opua
An absolute waterfront cottage in a quiet, peaceful location with wonderful sea views, make this the perfect ‘get away from it all’ accommodation.

The house sleeps a maximum of 4 people (Bedroom 1: King Bed with Deck Views, Bedroom 2: 2 x Single Beds).
This spotless, well-appointed home features a large kitchen and open plan living and dining which leads onto a large sunny sea facing deck. Watch the boats sail by night and day, relaxing on the deck or inside the living room on comfortable couches. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner with a view and the addition of a Weber BBQ outdoors means you can enjoy the classic kiwi fare too.
The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to self-cater. A full washing machine and dryer is available as well. All linen is provided for the bedrooms and bathroom.
The bathroom features a great shower with good water pressure and an internal heat pump/air conditioner keeps the temperature consistent all year round.

Very clean and tidy an ideal location to explore the Bay of Islands from. The marina close by provided a nice place to have evening meals. The steps and ramp up to the property were exhausting for my sister with breathing and walking difficulties.

Fantastic accommodation with a great view of the bay.

Such a lovely property. Extremely clean and well maintained, with everything you could possibly need. Also, so peaceful. Plus there is the perfect view over the bay. Its a short drive into Paihia and there is the lovely Opua to Paihia walking track too, which is well worth doing . So convenient for getting across to Russell, with the car ferry going from the wharf at the end of the road. There is also the convenience of a general store, takeaway and we also had food and drink at the friendly Opua Cruising Club which is open to non members. We just couldn't find fault with staying here.
