Vacation home in Sunny Bay of Islands

Three bedroom home in Te Haumi, Paihia with well maintained cottage garden. Cute Lockwood, super sunny, and fully furnished. Many happy hours can be spent in this home with large deck and a peep of the sea. A short walk up the hill to get a panoramic view of the beautiful Bay of Islands. Just the right place for an easy holiday.

Surrounded by native bush with the awesome songs of the tui's in early morning, and the native Moreporks and even kiwi at night.

You're only minutes away from all the bay has to offer.

This is a great place to stay, loads of books and indoor games to enjoy,
Fully fenced section so OK for Pets.
