About this property

Kanuka Bay - water view, peaceful.



Come and relax on the deck with stunning water views. In the evening you can sit in the private 4 person spa pool and hear Kiwi, Morepork and Weka calling. Watch the start and end of the boat racing Wednesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons in summer while enjoying a drink on the deck!

We are 7 minutes drive to Russell Township where you will find cafe's, restaurants and shops. Also close by are all the stunning beaches the Bay of Islands has to offer where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, surfing, sunbathing or just a casual stroll. Within 3 minutes walk is the start of the scenic boardwalk/bushwalk to Russell or explore Okiato, the area that was once New Zealand's first capital. Paihia is a short drive away (8KM) via the Car Ferry. Within a 2min drive is the Omata Estate Vineyard.

There are plenty of tourist attractions on offer in the area. The unit contains a folder with a good selection of brochures we are sure that you will find something that suits your taste.

The unit is modern and comfortable for up to 4 people. The double glazed windows keep it warm in the cooler months. Good quality bedding, linen and towels are included with the cost. The Full sized kitchen has a full fridge/freezer and full oven and hob. All furniture including a Smart T.V. for those rainy days.

Great Hosts and Stunning Views

Firstly the host Jenny was amazing, she was very prompt with communication and made us feel at home. The views were breathtaking. The unit itself was comfortable, and very neat with a well equipped kitchen. We unfortunately did not have the time to enjoy the spa but it looks well maintained. Thank you Jenny for an amazing stay and your hospitality.

Kanuka Bay Splendour

The stay at Kanuba was even better than provided in the photos. This Bach provides total peace and ultimate relaxation with an awesome view over the Inlet. The place is clean, spacious with all amenities provided in good order. The spa on the deck is an exceptional bonus. The hosts are wonderful and very accommodating. An awesome stay, thank-you.

Wonderful

We had a brilliant stay in Jenny’s small but perfectly formed property. The view is amazing. The spa pool was a highlight. The property had everything we needed and was in a very quiet and safe location. Jenny was very helpful. We left an item behind and she kindly helped us arrange for shipping back to our home. We would love to come back and stay again sometime.

Great outlook

A short stay at New Years was very pleasant at this property with our family . The apartment is actually at the end of the hosts house meaning that they do need to walk past the apartment to enter and leave their place. We did get home one afternoon to find the hosts on our deck assembling a new table - it wasn’t a huge issue but would have been nice to have a heads up as we were intending on coming home to have a spa and weren’t comfortable to do that . None of this was a big deal - the hosts were very pleasant , but I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are looking for privacy.
