Helena Bay beach rentals

Sue and James are delightful hosts who make you feel so welcome from the minute you arrive. Clendon House provides a unique historical stay in a truly beautiful location. This provided a brilliant opportunity to experience the winterless north and the endless outdoor activities and stunning islands nearby. Thank you for helping our family make so many wonderful memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Stunning as usual been here a couple of times

Wow! What a view from the balcony! It was amazing to arrive in time to see the sun going down over the water. We were met by Jane who showed us around the property, recommended some trips for our short stay, places to eat and walks - all were excellent suggestions. The Loft was incredibly well kitted out - tea, coffee etc, a cold beer on arrival, bathroom lotions, games, books… The morning kayak trip was fitted into a busy itinerary & much enjoyed. Jane kept in regular contact and helped out when a medical visit was required. The most difficult thing about our stay was finding time to relax and enjoy the beautiful property whilst also seeing as much as we could of what the bay of islands has to offer. It was all wonderful!

The house and setting are fabulous. Well-equipped home with everything you could need- lovely linen on the beds for a great sleep, warm outdoor shower, rooftop spa, lots of deck areas with plenty of sun and shade zones, beautiful gardens and lots of bird life. The secluded beach is a short stroll down the garden path. Great communication from the host. We had a truly relaxing week away here. Would love to stay again!

We had a great stay with 8 of us (6 adults, 2 kids) in Woolley’s Bay. The location is excellent with a perfect swimming beach across the road. The house was perfect for us - the separate apartment worked well for the kids and parents. Definitely recommend for a fabulous summer holiday with a group!

Fabulous views. Very clean. Had everything we needed. Has had a makeover since photos were taken and is much nicer than in photos. Loved having the swimming at the end of the drive and being in such a quiet space. Watching the boats all day was so relaxing and fun. Would love to go back.

Stunning apartment/ flat! So well-appointed. Fantastic hosts. Beautiful location, so peaceful. Only the sounds of fantails & bellbirds… Great start point for the Bay of Islands, with superb views. Thanks so much to Paul & Lee for sharing their stunning property.

This was our fourth visit in as may years to this accomodation. We have stayed in the upstairs apartment twice and the downstairs apartment twice, depending on group size. On this occasion we had both as came away with another family. The accomodation is so beautifully dressed, and everything is always in full working order and absolutely spotless. We love the location as it is nice and quiet and a perfect spot to explore the Bay of Islands from.
