Fabulous place in the lovely whangarei heads

We were a mixed family group attending a family wedding just up the road, the Bach was really well appointed, comfortable and clean. We were all disappointed we weren’t staying longer….. with the added bonus that we had never been to the Whangarei heads area and fell in love!!!

Parua Bay Christmas

This property is a very spacious, comfortable, well appointed house. Although it rained most of the time we stayed, there is a long covered deck at the front of the house where you could sit outside. The view is great. Very happy with the accommodation. The host was pleasant and easy to liaise with.

Christmas in the North

nicely appointed 4 bedroom home, an ideal fit for a grown up family and we all enjoyed having our own space. Lovely open plan kitchen/ lounge/ deck flow. Proximity to some of Northland's finest beaches was a real plus. It's hot at night though, and you'll need lots of insect repellant!

My only critisism is that linen is not included in this premium property and you need to be careful to select linen as an optional extra charge item.

About the host

Hosted by 4ondafloor

Host profile image
This property is owned by a family trust and we regularly use the house around bookings from other parties. As a result it’s set up with a very personal touch which will make you feel welcome and relaxed.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because we needed to have a generous view of the water, closeness to a surf beach (12 minutes) , closeness to a good boat ramp (5 minutes), handy to useful shops (5 mins walk), and a decent size section ( on half an acre). If it was close to a good pub then that was a bonus - and it is ! Parua Bay Pub is an awesome place to take your family for great food .

What makes this property unique

Comfortable, modern, well equipped house with FREE wireless internet and smart TV! Surround sound stereo completes a great entertainment facility. A huge kitchen with great facilities means you can really cook up a storm! (If you want !)
