About this property

Tranquil & private house, outdoor pool, rural setting close to beaches & hikes

Green View at Whangarei Heads is what this peaceful and tranquil, tastefully decorated house offers you. With stunning views all around with rolling hills, a distant sea view and a pool to enjoy, the house can accommodate 8 people, 10 by request only.
5 bedrooms, 2 kings with en-suites, 2 queen - shared bathroom bath & shower, and a room with 2 single beds.

This is the perfect place to stay to unwind from city life and enjoy summer breaks. Green View is a very private and quiet space.

Local fabulous beaches and walking hikes to suit all levels of fitness abound.

We are approximately a 30-minute drive out of Whangarei City, so you definitely need a car. There is no public transport or Uber and Taxis can be very expensive. It is a lovely coastal drive, however.

There is an airport in Whangarei if you wanted to fly up from Auckland for instance and here you could arrange a hire car.

It is a good idea to buy any groceries you may need in the city or nearby Onerahi. However, there are some shops in the village, supermarket included.

Due to a change in local council bylaws pets are no longer allowed at the property as the house is surrounded by a high-density kiwi area.

The property would be ideally for a weeklong retreat stay for artists, writers, yoga retreats or similar.

Quiet and free from disturbance

Lovely and considerate host, Kathy made the whole process so smooth. The accommodation location and views is something of an experience, we were a group of eight adults and it was a great place for us to recoup. Thank you so much Kathy.

Stunning property

Kathy's place is simply incredible with so many thoughtful touches. The views were stunning, the beds were comfy, the living areas were spacious and functional. Myself and 10 other friends had an amazing time here, and felt like we had this slice of paradise all to ourselves! Communication was easy and prompt throughout the booking experience and our stay. I would highly recommend booking with Kathy and Adrian for an incredible getaway!

A beautiful home with loads of space for everyone!

We loved our time at Green View. Such a magnificent home with peaceful rural location but yet still conveniently close to all amnesties. The house catered to all needs with expansive space for everyone ranging in ages from under 2 through to teens and adults. The pool was a big hit for everyone. Kathy is a wonderful host and very accommodating and so helpful. Beautiful home and highly recommend.

Spacious Retreat

A spacious holiday home inside and out that could accommodate everyone comfortably including our 2 family dogs and my wheelchair. Comfy beds, beautiful pool, 3 great bathrooms and toilets, self contained studio (very roomy) with own deck and lovely views with a peep of the water. Kathy is so great to deal with and she was also easy to get in touch with. She had put together lots of great touches that made our stay more comfortable and homely. Our grandaughter loved the animals. Lots of lovely bays to visit just a short drive away and shops a few minutes away too. Thankyou for your hospitality Kathy, we had a very relaxing comfortable stay.

Home is where the heart is

Kathy and Adrian have thought of absolutely everything for this beautiful property and breathtaking location.Pearched on a hill that overlooks rolling farmland all the way to the coast (The ocean could be seen despite the inland location!), this amazing home (emphasize on the word home) would make any guest feel extremely welcome and relaxed.This house had everything, views, large rooms, amazing entertainment space, the kitchen was decked out with everything and more.We were in awe when we opened the sliders onto the green lawn overlooking the mountains. Bird song filled the air with a gentle peaceful quiet breeze as their orchestra. What I loved most about this home was the bird feeder that Kathy invites you to participate in, waking up everyday morning to feed the birds became one of the trip highlights as we would have a coffee and watch them all fly in - it was immersing.I mentioned an emphasize on the word 'Home' earlier, what I meant by that is, with a lot of holiday homes, some can feel quite sanitary and bare, built for quick turn arounds. This is not the case with Kathy and Adrians home, this has been and still feels like a home which made the overall comfort better, their were height marks of children on the walls, fairy lights surrounding the lounge, various games and nick nacks, pool toys - it really felt like we had been invited in to stay at a friends house.We all left a piece of our heart their and would go back in a heart beat.Thank you so much

Not Happy

Just be careful when booking this property. The washing machine broke down apparently flooding the floor (the property had already been vacated) so was news to us. VRBO took $1500 out of our account as a claim. The owner went and bought a brand new top of the line washing machine for $1279.00 plus $99 delivery fee, I have a copy of the tax invoice she also had a quote to fix her broken machine for $685.46, however they couldn't fix the machine for another 2 months so she bought a new expensive machine. Whilst googling the model make and number of the broken machine I found that it retailed between $600 & $900 depending on what year it was bought. Also fair to note that the new machine was delivered to another address. So be careful when staying that you make sure that all appliances / property are photographed because I'd hate you to have to pay for a high end fridge. I feel scammed

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

Host profile image
I have been hosting guests for 4 years and I absolutely love it. I used to travel a great deal with work so I know first-hand how the little touches help you feel 'at home'. I am always happy to be contacted beforehand if you wish to request any special touches before your arrival. If I can accommodate your wishes I certainly will.

I like to ensure that guests have a lovely and relaxing stay :)

Why they chose this property

We are very close to some of Northlands stunning beaches if you love to surf or kite surf, the furthest being 20 minutes away and the nearest about 12 minutes! There are walking tracks for all levels of fitness from Mount Manaia, Smugglers Cove, Reotahi Walkway and Mount Aubrey. I am happy to advise more on the area during your stay.

There is a local tennis court, local cafes, tavern, golf course, horse riding and fishing charters with diving also at the Poor Knights. Some great eateries are local and the Parua Bay Tavern.
