Modern and spacious self catering ground floor unit just a 2 minute walk to the nearest beach with lovely sea views. Beautiful bush walks on your doorstep with a north facing position offering all day sun in a quiet cul de sac road.
We are a recently retired couple and moved to beautiful Bay of Islands from a busy city lifestyle. We are very active and love the outdoors especially all the sailing opportunities on our doorstep.
A wealth of enjoyment awaits you in this area. Russell with all its old world charm, bars and restaurants can be found just a 5 minute drive over the hill. Plenty of tourist activities in the area including whale and dolphin sightseeing, Hole in the wall trips, lovely beaches and lots of bush walks. Popular Paihia with lots of shopping opportunities is a short foot ferry ride away.
