Lovely heritage accommodation

This is lovely, comfortable, beachfront accommodation, fully furnished, and traditionally redecorated in sympathy with its age. Feel as though you have stepped back in time. It is nice and cool in the summer, and cosy and warm in the winter. The flat is located right on the beachfront at Opua. Wake up to the sound of sea gulls and stunning views over the Bay. Opua is very quiet, but there is always something happening and something to watch, whether it is the car ferry chugging back and forward across the bay, or yachts and motorboats making their way in and out of the harbour. Sometimes you can be lucky enough to see dolphins or orca. The homestead is only 100 metres to the car ferry and general store and another 100 metres to the marina and cafe. By road, it is 5 kilometres to Paihia or Russell. It is right at the beginning of the coastal walkway from Opua to Paihia. Other lovely walks are only a short distance away. There is also a cycleway from Opua to Taumarere Station. It is simply the best place for a relaxing, rejuvenating holiday or weekend and a perfect location from which to explore the stunning Bay of islands and the Far North. Please note - there is another apartment upstairs in the building that sleeps 6 people. Please see the separate listing.
Special conditions:
As it is a historic building there is NO SMOKING anywhere on the property, inside or out. There is also a ban on any naked flame (i.e. lighted candles). As you may appreciate this is really important to us.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$60.00 per stay); Linen (included); Pair of sea kayaks (included);

Fabulous Spot!
Had a wonderful relaxing stay in this amazing place. Chris was super welcoming and helpful, and the historic house is comfortable with everything you need. We loved being right by the water and took our paddle boards out every day. There’s lots to do in the local area too. We visited Waitangi and really enjoyed the fabulous new museum. We also walked round to Pahia for lunch and another day took the car over to Russell on the ferry.

What a place to enjoy R&R.
From Ciello’s welcoming voice on the phone as we travelled till when we left we enjoyed every minute. Chris and Ciello made us very welcome and the cleanliness was only surpassed by the views from the veranda of sun rise and sunset.

Beautiful historical home!
Lovely location on the bay with the perfect porch to enjoy our morning coffee. The home was spotlessly clean, updated in all the right ways without compromising the historical feel of the home. The beds were very comfortable. We will return if we ever visit this beautiful corner of the world.
