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.

We enjoyed our stay here, everything went to plan and the house is a lovely comfortable place to be. Well equipped, made pancakes for breakfast and slept soundly.
The property is great value. The location is handy to Kerikeri, Russell, and of course Paihia. We were warm and comfortable, and particularly enjoyed breakfast and coffee on the sunny deck.
Beautifully presented & provided everything we needed to have a home away from home. Our wee dog was welcome which made our break away so much easier. Thankyou to our hosts.
Des and Margs home was absolutely wonderful to stay in for all of the family including the dog!
Close to the Russell port and paihia, their house is an absolute gem
We had a lovely stay here. Its an incredible location, being a short walk to the beach and so close to Paihia.The owners were accomodating of our dogs and the last minute request for friends to join.Thank you for letting us use your home

Was great little house to stay very homely like my grandmas place when younger. Nice to sit outside and have a cuppa on the deck area. Son loved the hammock. Great to have washer and dryer
This was such a great place to stay in Paihia. It was a cozy, bright, and welcoming house in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the beautiful Bay of Islands. The yard and surrounding forest made the place feel like you were miles away from everything. Thanks for letting us stay at your place!
Our family enjoyed our stay at Marg and Des place. House was clean, warm and surrounding was fantastic. We has small concern related to noise and they solved it immediately. I will recommend their place to everyone. Thank you for making
We had a great couple of nights here with our teenagers. A short drive to the beach.
Suited us nicely. The house provided everything we needed and more
We had everything we needed (and more) right at our fingertips. Hearing a kiwi calling at night was an added bonus.The house was clean, comfortable, warm and welcoming.Thanks so much Marg and Des.
Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home. The property was situated close to Paihia and the garden provided a lovely setting for an easter egg hunt for the kids. Our daughter was particularly enamoured with the fish in the pond.
Plenty to see and do in surrounding area…short easy drive to Paihia central, ferry , Treaty. Grounds and Waitangi golf course.Comfortable stay, very hot while we were there. Quiet street.Didn’t realise it would be someone’s home while they were away.
