This is wonderfully appointed home, with very personalised decor ,beautiful layout and fantastic views over Opua Harbour from elevated hillside position,both from inside through large windows areas, and from outside on dual level decks.
Architecturally amazing house, though includes 2 flights of stairs descending from front door and again onto lower main bedroom , so depending on mobility issues ,and adventurous toddlers, this may need to be considered.
With relocation of a few personal items and vigilant eye ,we personally coped well with a young toddler. The decks a both very child safe.
The home was spotless and every basic amenity already supplied ,other than your own groceries.
Comfortably accomodates a family , 2 dbl bedrooms and a study with single, plus extra foldout single bed options .
The hosts are in close communication and responses to any queries were swift.
Location is quiet and private, and just above harbour where Ferry to Russell departs.
Off street parking in driveway ( just need to be careful approaching from Down the hill as the turn in is not highly visible as you approach).
General store at harbour has most needs covered, but Paihia is only 5 min drive away to more substantial shopping options.
Local yacht club is a friendly low key venue, with well priced meals and a pleasant view over harbour, and open for early evening meals.
This property is excellent value for the cost.
We will certainly return when ever travelling to Bay of Islands area again.
