Beautiful spacious home with amazing views

From the second we walked in we were blown away with the sheer size of the house. House was very clean and tidy. Loved the amazing views from the decks especially when cooking outside on the bbq. Within very short driving distance to paihia and even closer places to keep kids entertained close by. Fished off rocks at english bay with the old man one morning, took the young ones out fishing off the Opua wharf on another. Our Family really enjoyed the hole in rock cruise in Paihia This home serves a perfect home to accommodate a large family or two families as a hub to explore the bay of islands. Our family loved and thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holiday here in the BOI and definitely enjoyed staying at this beautiful home. Thankyou so much Wendy, such a pleasure to deal with!!

Perfect opua palace

Wendy's place is a beautiful family home, spacious with all the amenities. It has great access to Opua Marina and beach. Wendy was awesome to deal with, and left us to it. My sister-in-law and kids thoroughly enjoyed their stay.

Awesome!

We had a fab stay at Wendy and Graham’s beautiful spacious house. Great location as a base to explore the bay of islands. They gave us some great tips and recommendations for things to do which were spot on! The house was sparkly clean, newly carpeted had a gorgeous refurbished family bathroom and equipped with everything we could have possibly needed in the kitchen and more. Very comfy beds too! Would definitely stay again

Fabulous Bay of Islands holiday

This is a fabulous home away from home. From the ease of arrangements with the owner, the comforts of the home, and the lovely surrounds, this made for a wonderful holiday with the extended family. It is a short walk from the Opua store and marina/boat ramp and there is plenty of room for boat parking if needed.

Perfect spot to stay

Was an awesome and lovely home to stay. Wendy is a lovely homely person and makes you feel so welcome. The property is so close to Opua Marina and car ferry to Russell. Also a short drive to Paihia. Beautiful views looking towards Opua harbour. Lovely and relaxing. Would highly recommend. Thanks Wendy for everything.

Lovely home, in a great location, with views to die for!

Located just a 5 minute drive from Paihia and a 1 minute drive to Opua wharf, this property boasts 5 well sized bedrooms with a lovely front garden for the evening sun and a deck at the rear for a morning coffee in the sun, overlooking the bays with amazing views. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend.

Fantastic house for a large family or 2 families.

Fantastic house for a large family or 2 families. Large spacious, generous sized bedrooms. This house was better than expected and would definitely stay again. A bit further from Paihia than I expected, but I should have realised this myself from google maps. Beautiful 2 hour walk around the bays from opua to paihia.

This is a spacious, comfortable, and fully set-up family home.

This is a spacious, comfortable, and fully set-up family home. The sun and views are excellent. The location is pretty perfect - very handy to main roads/car ferry/coastal track/cycle trail etc for exploring all the sites of the region but also private, great bush outlook, lots of birdsong, and outdoor spaces.
