'LA CASITA' in the beautiful Bay of Islands

Great family bach right in the heart of the Bay of Islands. Has all the facilities you need, close to the beach and Russell township, 50-60 minutes drive to Kerikeri via Okiato Ferry or alternatively you can get the passenger ferry to Paihia.
There is fishing and boating right on your doorstep with charters all year round, or you have the option of bringing your own boat. There is a boat ramp down in Russell township, along with great cafes and restaurants. Trips out to the islands are daily and can be booked in town.
This is our family bach and has been for many years, so please enjoy it and look after it.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition please leave the house as you found it and please do not leave dishwasher on and pump off when you depart as dishwasher requires pump to be on.
Washing of linens is done by owner - please just strip beds of sheets and pillow cases only that have been used and leave in bathroom with used towels and flannels.
Wifi is NOT provided.
Please do not leave refuse/recycling - this is to be disposed of before departure by guests.

Lovely family holiday
Fantastic location, just a short walk from the beach and a slightly longer walk to Russell township. It was lovely to see to wake up to the views.

Peaceful, easy walk to town. Helpful hosts.
Nice, unrenovated cottage with ocean views. Great fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, drier, shower, 2 toilets. Comfortable beds. No wifi (glad). TV and aircon (we did not use it). Weird layout but plenty of space. I believe the window next to front door needs a latch. Most flyscreens are functional. Both decks are great (be careful of the front outside picnic table). Back door lock ineffective so use the plank of wood supplied. Our family of 5 had 9 great days here. Not cheap but very happy if rent can fund improvements.

Fantastic Place!
Quirky, comfortable, spacious bach with beautiful sea views from decks front and back. Surrounded by lovely trees, the garden is beautiful, full of flowering hibiscus and with a resident weka. A weka! We loved the place, and the hosts were great to deal with during the booking process.

Relaxing kiwi home
Great views. Bbq table front and back so always somewhere in sun to sit. Airy and spacious. Would definitely book again. Short walk to Long Beach or Russell waterfront. Relaxing.
