Beachfront Bland Bay tranquility with stunning sea views from sun-drenched deck

Located at Bland Bay, 1 1/4 hours north of Whangarei on the east coast, this 15 year old well-maintained 2 bedroom family bach / holiday house offers the convenience, beauty and peace of a beachfront location and spectacular views of Bland Bay from the 360 degree deck. Stroll 15 metres to main beach or take a 2 minute walk to Whangaruru Harbour.

Wake up to stunning sunrises from the main bedroom, brew a coffee in the Nespresso machine (BYO pods) and get that caffeine fix while sitting on the east-facing deck in the morning sun and follow the sun around the 360 degree deck all day. Enjoy a BBQ on the west facing deck in the afternoon while taking in the stunning sea views.

It is not unusual to be the only person on the beach and dolphins are often seen (and swum with) in the bay.

Fantastic fishing, swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, diving, windsurfing and kitesurfing in the bay and several beautiful bush walks to choose from.

If you are into surfing, Elliot Bay is great surf beach 10 minutes away, and is quite a swell magnet, often surfable when it is flat at Bland Bay.

Pop up to Russell for a nice meal (40 minutes) or cross the ferry to Paihia for more Bay of Islands' activities.

Please note that the nearest shop is in Oakura (30 minutes away), which really only caters for essentials. For more luxurious treats, you need to go to Russell or Whangarei, so we recommend you take all the supplies you think you will need for your stay (and a little more, just in case), as once there you won't want to have to leave for groceries!
Special conditions:
Pets allowed with prior approval

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Please bring your own linen (towels/sheets (including a top sheet)/pillowcases/tea towels);

Beautiful outlook
The house has everything you need, it was clean and tidy. Short walk on to the beach. Make sure you take everything you need, as there is no store nearby. We would stay again.

Great place to stay location was excellent, just one small hiccup!! not great communication from the hosts as we never got an email with the address or lockbox number but called book a bach to put us in contact with the host so that we could get the arrival information we needed did think we may have been scammed for a moment but all worked out thankfully and had a great time 😊

Better than the photos!
What an awesome get away! We all had the most amazing time away blessed with sunny skies, fishing off the beach caught 11 snapper over 3 days. Beach all to ourselves most days and super friendly locals. Our dog loved it just as much as we did. We will be back. Thank you so much!

Sublime position
The position of this property is its selling point. The views to this spectacular bay are out of this world. The house is well equipped - except for heating. A couple of heaters would really improve the experience, especially in winter. Very grateful for the electric blankets! Important to note that all linen (sheets, pillow cases, towels, bath mats, hand towels, tea- towels etc) must be brought by the guest. And on leaving, to make sure that it is as clean as when you arrive - there are no cleaners in Tūparehuia. The remoteness and beauty of this location, however, is worth the effort.
