Stunning Coastal Views in Native Kiwi Zone

Kingfisher Cottage, Coastal and family friendly. Forty minutes from Kerikeri, just north of the Bay of Islands.
Tucked into a native kiwi-zone ( yes we hear them most nights). Watch the sunrise over the bay from the comfort of your superking bed or relax on the outdoor furniture.. Lovely indoor/outdoor living with large sliding doors opening onto an expansive deck. This character filled cottage has - freeview satellite tv, wifi, microwave, dishwasher etc., plus a well stocked bookcase and plenty of boardgames and childrens toys.
Many beautiful safe sandy beaches close by (5min) and great boat launching within easy reach. Excellent diving and fishing all minutes away. Whangaroa Harbour is just over the hill and Kauri Cliffs Golf course 20 minutes down the road, also handy to Whangaroa Golf course. Kerikeri 40 minutes away with excellent amenities - restaurants, cafes, great shopping, two large supermarkets, movie theatre, airport etc.
Dive the Rainbow Warrior wreck at Cavalli Islands (within sight of the cottage), take an easy day trip to Cape Reinga or have an evening meal at the famous Mangonui Fishshop over the water at Mangonui.

Gorgeous views!
The views from this property are outstanding. I loved having this quiet time to sit and watch the weather changing out over the hills and water. House was clean and had everything we needed. Close enough to several Northland towns to get supplies and explore. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well. Hosts were great- super friendly and communicative about some work being done on the property- checking in with us. Lovely, peaceful stay!

Absolutely Perfect
There are so many wonderful things about this bach...the views are breathtaking, the large deck has sunny and shaded areas, the house is well appointed and comfortable, the gardens are gorgeous and the owners are kind and generous. We stayed for a week and already we are dreaming about returning. The location within a short drive of stunning beaches and bays meant we could explore a new area everyday. We especially enjoyed how spacious the bach was given that we were two adult couples with a teenager. The kitchen has pretty much everything you need plus the addition of a washing machine was much appreciated. Our preference would have been for firmer beds but overall the place was absolutely perfect. PS...thank you for the fish!!! :-D

Great place to relax and explore northland
This is a nice homely cottage with everything needed for your stay. It is well located to visit stunning beaches close by and to explore the far north region. The view from the large deck is beautiful, the owners house is in front to the side but well hidden behind plantings. The cottage is clean and well stocked with the basic essentials in the kitchen. All in all an excellent place to stay for a northland holiday.

Wow
We stayed for 5 nights. honestly it was FAB. Bach was so clean and welcoming.. views were awesome and Mandee was super helpful. I could just stay at Bach for rest of my life... peaceful. You will find everything you need in the kitchen... bathroom... bedrooms and lounge. Don't need to load your vehicle with half of the household stuff like we did lol🤣....well we were overly prepared after our last experience. ... definitely going back. Roselyn
