About this property

Huge 180 degree views of Doubtless Bay

Doubtless Views is a large family home set on a regularly maintained 1.7 acre private garden estate with an unobstructed 180 degree view of Doubtless Bay in it's entirety, from Tokerau Beach right round to the village at Hihi and all in between. A seagull's view of the bay and like the bird, just a few minutes from being under the shady Pohutukawas that overhang the sand at Cable Bay and Coopers Beach.

The open plan cathedral ceiling lounge and dining area, downstairs apartment and 3 of the 4 upstairs bedrooms take in the massive view. There is a 50 metre long strip of flowering flax beneath the deck, a Tui Mecca. The property has recently been purchased by an overseas couple. The quality chattels are all new and they've spared no expense. Furniture, white goods, beds, TV, outdoor furniture, the BBQ, right down to the crisp sheets and bath linen, it's all brand new. Your Netflix, Sky, TV on demand etc subscriptions can be cast from your device to the new 50" Smart TV and unlimited speedy VDSL broadband. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and deck access. The main and apartment bathrooms were completely refurbished in October 2017. Garaging for 3 cars/boats, two end to end in the long garage and for larger groups, the air conditioned apartment downstairs sleeps 2 in their own private space. The quality new beds in bedrooms 2 and 3 and the apartment are dual-purpose. They can be set either as long singles or made up with a thick topper to create super king size double beds.

Some folk like to holiday in amongst the Summer melee, right on the coast. Others like to take a step back at the end of a sun-soaked day. To the high ground and as the BBQ sizzles, point out and discuss destinations for tomorrow's adventure. If you're the later, Doubtless Views is for you.

Special conditions:
The Super King beds in Bedrooms 2 and 3 can be unclipped and made up as King Singles. Please specify your needs at the time of booking.

Parties and non-paying guests are not allowed. Breaches may result in a no refund termination of the stay.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$75.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Wonderful stay

We had 8 wonderful days at this large house with spectacular views over Doubtless Bay. It has plenty of room for everyone as well as a separate downstairs apartment with lounge/kitchenette and bathroom. Will definitely be looking to book again at some point. The only think it needs are some more outdoor chairs on the expansive deck. Even a few fold outs would be good as we couldn't all fit outside which was a shame

Great Home With Great Views!

We loved this huge home - had everything we could ever need to enjoy Cable Bay, particularly in the kitchen. It was great to be able to prepare home-cooked meals again after four months on cruise ships and in hotels. Wi-Fi was excellent! We saw 14 kite surfers in the bay one day - mesmerizing. We had on small problem the first day, and a call to David fixed it immediately. We would like to return to Doubtless Views for a longer stay in the future!

Amazing Property

What an amazing house to stay in, particularly through a weather storm!! The house was spacious, beds amazingly comfortable and there is plenty of room everywhere. David is a great host and met us on site when we arrived a really lovely person to deal with and nothing is too much bother for him. The property is a very short drive to the beach and local four square supermarket, butchery and bakery and very quiet. You do need to take all of your food essentials if you are planning on eating in but that’s explained in the booking details.

The house was perfect for what we needed. Our group of age range 0-40 had everything we wanted and more with this stay. Beautiful views to relax and beaches nearby to venture to. We have already re-booked again for the end of the year.
