About this property

The bach is situated on a spacious section, with a short walk across a quiet road and grassy reserve to the white sands of Tapeka's safe swimming beach. A slightly longer walk to the other side of the peninsula offers the rock pools and fishing spots of Rocky Bay. This three bedroom bach is perfect for one large or two small families.

The house comprises two double bedrooms, a bunkroom, toilet and bathroom. The sunny living area opens onto a covered deck with sea views. There is plenty of lawn for the kids to play on.

The bach is located within easy reach (approx 2km) of historic Russell township with its restaurants, supermarket and other amenities. Tapeka is surrounded by native bush and wildlife, and there is no shortage of walkways, history and viewing points to explore. The very handy boat ramp also offers easy access to the numerous islands and beaches in the area. However you plan to spend your stay, we know you will love it here in the Bay of Islands.

Wonderful Place to Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property has sea views and a short walk to the beach. We love the kiwi bach vibes. The house was perfect for us and our family. As my 4 year old said. She didn't want to leave. Thanks Sarah & John!
