Parua Bay Stay

The third 3 day stay of a 9 day holiday. The bach/chalet was well appointed, to a high standard, and suitable for couples. Set down a small track it is in a quiet location and is a good base to explore Whangarei heads and the adjacent coast. A pleasant and comfortable place for a long weekend.

Special Spot

We had a gorgeous weeks stay in the cottage. Spectacular views to the ocean and the standard of accommodation itself was excellent. A lot of thought put into the detailing which showed. Prue and Stephen.
