We loved our 3 night stay at Parua Bay. Andrea was super friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. The accomodation was cozy, clean, warm and a great space for our family of 4. The games room (games consoles were a hit with our teenager) had plenty to keep us all entertained and even had a basketball net. The spa was an extra treat and would’ve loved to take a dip in the pool but the weather wasn’t in our favour. The views were breathtaking and we were lucky enough to help feed the sheep and chickens. We would definitely come back again. A lovely 15 minute scenic drive out of Whangarei so easy distance to all the local attractions and Bay of Islands. Would recommend the Perfect Day cruise from Tutukaka.
