About this property

The Tide Watcher - Okiato Holiday Home

Idyllic views out over the water as you sip your morning coffee out on the sundeck - Does that sounds like something you need this trip? Look no further than The Tide Watcher!

The indoor open-plan flow of this holiday home blends seamlessly into its scenic backdrop through the large windows and doors on both storeys.

Sleeping up to 5 guests, The Tide Watcher is a spacious and modern place to settle into with the whole family or group. At the end of a busy day exploring the Bay of Islands, sit back and enjoy a glass of wine on the sundeck and watch the turn of the tide.

With direct access to the ferry, right on your doorstep - you'll be perfectly set-up to take the ferry to Opua. From here you can make your way up to Paihia, further on to Cape Reinga, 90 Mile Beach, or cruise the Hole in the Rock.

Summer or winter, relaxation or exploration - The Tide Watcher has you covered!
Adults should closely supervise young children to ensure that they do not climb the bench seat at the top of the stairs due to risk of falling.All guests should take care when using the internal stairs as they are steep and do not have a handrail.Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Lovely house, well situated, beautiful views. Comfy beds, great showers. Provided everything we needed. However, lower bedroom still has damp musty smell and we had no wifi and no Netflix as modem had failed and needed replacing. Property manager responded immediately to internet problem and replacement arranged. Read comments about noise from ferry wharf but we did not find this intrusive.
