LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. We truly loved our four days at Tapeka Beach. It was the perfect end to 3 amazing weeks on the North Island. Clive was friendly and welcoming but left us to ourselves. Having him next door was like having a good neighbour to wave to each morning. Whether you want a base from which to explore the Bay of Islands or somewhere to sit back, relax and watch the activity in the water and on the beach, Clive's place is simply perfect.
