Welcome to Cable Bay in the beautiful Doubtless Bay area. Here, you are surrounded by beautiful beaches, friendly people and many fabulous sights all on your doorstep!
Cable Bay is great for swimming and also has the “lagoon” to the left which is perfect for the little ones or the less confident swimmer. You can also enjoy snorkelling and explore the rock pools at low tide then sit on the beach with some delicious takeaways from the local dairy. Lots to see and do :)
The beautiful and historical Mangonui township is just a short 5 min drive away. Here you will find a hotel, a number of eateries, tourism shop and a 4 Square all for your convenience not to mention a wharf if you want to try your hand at a bit of fishing. A market is held on Tuesday evenings with local produce and crafts all on the offering.
Coopers Beach shopping centre boasting a 4 Square, butchery, pharmacy and diner is only a 3 min drive away. You will also find a liquor store, “Dollarland” and sports/fishing store conveniently located across from the 4 Square. If you wish to do a larger grocery shop, Kaitaia township is a 30min drive west where you will find a Pak’n’Save and many other amenities normally located in a larger township.
Just west over the hill you will find the small settlement of Taipa which boasts the Ramada Resort with restaurant, a gas station, convenience store, fish’n’chip shop, bakery, tavern etc not to mention a beautiful long sandy beach and a safe estuary for the littlies. Further west you will find the turnoff to Tokerau, Whatuwhiwhi and Matai Bay all within 25 mins drive and well worth a visit.
So, whether you plan to just put your feet up, relax and enjoy the spectacular views from the deck or use the property as a jump off point to the many sights and day trips on offer, we know you’ll enjoy your stay at CBay Holiday Home……your home away from home!

This property waa fantastic! It was clean, spacious, and had everything you could need. Our family were extremely comfortable and loved our time spent here, even with the sporadic weather.
We loved our stay here. As soon as you walk through the house and see the view, you know you’re on holiday. The house is spacious, well equipped and caters for all your needs. Tina was very responsive and helpful. The only negative is that we didn't stay longer!
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. My cleaner said you left the property in excellent condition for which she and I thank you. It was a pleasure having you, please come again :)
An enjoyable stay. Beautiful home but for eleven people could have done with a larger dining table.

Thanks for your feedback Bill. Being that it's a beach house/bach, I've taken a more casual approach to dining. There's a 6 seater outdoor table, 6 seater indoor table and 6 stools at the breakfast bar. As well as this, there are additional seats and stools for guests to use 😊

Fantastic! We loved it and would stay there again.
We had a such lovely time at this place. It was well setup and had things for all of those who were staying there even for our two girls. The information provided was great and communication was easy and forthcoming.

Thank you for the great review, I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay. Please come again :)
A nice big house with lots of space for four professionals to find their peace and quiet after spending long days in the office. It had everything we needed and more. Thank you.
Very nice place, awesome view to the beach. The rooms had some toys and board games to entertain the kids. The place does not have A/C, but you only had to open up the sliding doors to get all the sea breeze. Marvelous stay, Thanks Tina!
Tina was brilliant with the organization and information at the house. Situated in a great location to discover Taipa and Cable Bay. House was awesome for the 2 families - 10 of us in total.
Tina was wonderful to deal with. Great communication with fast replies back.
The view was amazing and we just loved sitting out in the deck admiring the view across the bay.
The property was exactly what we needed with lots of room and great facilities.
We will definitely be back!!
Our group was 10, roomy for us all even on one wet day plenty to do, had everything we needed...could do with a dryer when its raining.
Well equiped kitchen, teens/young adults loved it.
We stayed in this place with family. Enjoyed beautiful scenic view from the house. The home had all essentials we could need. Was clean neat and tidy.
Enjoyed our selves so much that we plan to return for another holiday next year. Perfect for family and friends.
This house was by far the best equipped than any we have stayed in. It had absolutely everything we could need and the extra supplies like tea, coffee, toilet paper etc were the icing on the cake. Great house, great location and Tina was very accommodating. Awesome place for our family Easter getaway. Will be back for sure.
Beautiful views, well stocked house. Everything you might need. Plenty of kitchen supplies-pots and pabs, utensils, plates etc. Spacious. Deck with seating, bbq. Clise to beach. A wonderful place to stay.
This is very impressive accommodation. The house was a lot bigger than what we expected and very well appointed. Was very clean also. Tina was great to deal with. I would definitely recommend this house to stay at if you are staying in the Doubtless Bay area.

Thank you Charles for your great review and for looking after our property perfectly. Please come again any time 😊
What a lovely bach. Accurate description of the bach, it was tidy and clean and had all the amenities needed for our getaway. Beds we’re comfortable and the bach was spacious. We enjoyed sitting on the deck having breakfast and dinner while enjoying the sun. The view was gorgeous. We had issues with the sound coming from the TV but Tina and her husband were on to it straight away. Would highly recommend to all. Hope to visit again soon.
What can I say other than this place was just awesome! As soon as we arrived the view just took our breath away. From then on we realised how well the house was set up. We had a family crew which included my infant son who recently turned two. All I can say is this house is sooooooooooo well set up for families and those with young children. I can’t stop but recommend them we had such a lovely stay!!! Finally I want to say how sweet and helpful the host Tina was, any query she was quick to respond and was such a gracious host. In summary stay here! Your guaranteed a great time ;)

Thank you so much Emma, I'm thrilled you and your family enjoyed your stay! We would be happy to have you back 😊
From the minute we drove down the driveway and saw the stunning view we were excited.
The house is beautifully situated and all amenites provided. Our family loved the 2 nights we spent, very relaxing, easy house to relax and unwind. Supermarket not far away.
(The only negative I have is the musty smell of the tea towels and bath towels. Could be a one off because of all the recent rain, washing hard to dry)
Otherwise 5 stars. Thank you
