Take a 2 minute Stroll from this spacious holiday home to beautiful Tapeka Beach for swimming, kayaking (kayaks provided), sun or a spot of fishing. Enjoy the sea views from the large decks, the living areas or from the master bedroom. Bush and beach walks are there for those who feel energetic. Walk the bush walks at night and you might see the kiwi (please observe only and respect them). Kiwi calls are heard most nights. Cafe and restaurants are close by in beautiful historic Russell or via a quick ferry ride to Paiha. This is your gateway to the magnificent Bay of Islands or to venturing further afield to tourist attractions in Northland.
This house has close access to two beaches. The first is a safe sandy beach with pontoon (in summer). The second is a rocky beach with rock pools. Good for snorkeling and exploring.
Take Bob’s walk through the bush or walk up the hill toward Russell. Walk to the end of Titore Way and you will be able to walk through the bush to Russell. A must for us and our grandchildren. We make this a daily event. The reward is coffee or icecreams on the waterfront in Russell. Or to get your daily exercise walk up the hill to Tapeka Pt, the old Maori Pa site, and enjoy the panoramic views of the bay.

A beautifully situated property for a quiet getaway, for either two people or fifteen!!! A very clean, spacious, comfortable property, we felt like we were at home!!! Great kitchen space and a huge deck with stunning views.
We came to Teaghlach as an extended family including little ones. Teaghlach is very nicely set up; toys for little ones, a well-equipped kitchen and a welcoming, homely space to sit and enjoy family time in. The host was great to deal with and quick to respond to questions prior our stay. We loved our stay and only wish we had booked for longer!
This home was perfect for our group of 12 trampers. We enjoyed local walks and restaurants. The living area was great footprints chatting and relaxing.
Booking and communication was all straight forward and easy. Lovely location, big deck and lounge area for everyone to relax in. Nice size rooms with comfortable beds. Was the perfect bach for our family getaway.
We’re not strangers to this area but this property provided an amazing retreat for a family get-away. Our hosts were amazing and as always, the Bay of Islands didn’t fail to disappoint.
We took three generations of our family to this lovely bach. It's perfectly kitted out for families, including those with very young ones, and has everything one would want for a trip to Russell.
We really enjoyed staying here. Great indoor outdoor flow with spacious verandah, plenty of space for young children to play, and they enjoyed the box of toys.
Good outlook, and birdsong including kiwi.
Swimming beach just down the road, and good walks thrpugh bush to Russell and onto Tapeka point.
Quick drive to Russell.
Really recommend!
Great location, surrounded by nature, peaceful street and close to the beaches.
Love getting visited by curious weka.
Comfortable and spacious and perfect for a big group of people.
Lovely home in beautiful Russell.
Home well equpped with everything you could possibly need and more.
Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Just wish we had had a few more days.
Perfect spot for heading further north.
Amazing property to stay and play. Very close to the beach and bush walks, and close to Russell and Paihia if you want to explore. Even has a baby gate for the stairs
