About this property

Private and pet friendly lockwood house

Yfanwen (pronounced "if-an'-when") is a comfortable, very private and pet-friendly, fully equipped and serviced standard Lockwood family home of 100 square metres (1000 square feet). It is complete with Wi-Fi, heat pump and MY SKY PLUS TV, including the movie and sports channels. It sleeps 6 comfortably and can accommodate 2 more on a bed-settee. It is the alternative home of Margaret and Tim, the owners .

We are in the community of Okiato just across the water by car ferry from Opua, close to the Far North town of Russell in New Zealand's picturesque Bay of Islands. Opua is off State Highway 1 about 220 kilometres north of Auckland. The Russell Peninsula is part of a 'Land Island' nature reserve - listen to the kiwis calling at night, and pukakos and tuis around you in the surrounding bush when you are staying in Yfanwen.

Yfanwen is built back from a low cliff and adjacent to tranquil Pipiroa Bay. The house overlooks the Veronica Channel with views to the west and north as far as Paihia and Waitangi. The property is beachfront with 4.5 hectares (over 18 acres) of low hills and pasture, footpaths and two adjacent shallow, safe swimming beaches. The home is in its own bush environment, is private and is safe for small children under supervision and is in general ideal for a family holiday. Pets are welcome at Yfanwen.

Our walk-out (an alternative to using the car) is a bush pathway under the tree canopy leading for nearly 2 kilometres to Aucks Road, the main road between the Opua car ferry ramp and Russell.

The photo gallery tells you all about the house, the views and how to find us.

Fantastic wildernesses
This was a fantastic stay. We booked 6 days, however we should have booked a little longer. The peace and quiet is so wonderful. The birds were amazing. The walks and beaches were fantastic too. We all really enjoyed everything about our stay. Thank you

Kiwis etc
Our adult family of 6 had a lovely stay. Bush walks, swimming best at Russell but took the kayak out from the little bay. Heard kiwis at night and very comfortable beds.

Slice of Paradise
A lovely bach type property close to the vehicle ferry in a rural setting close to a private bay on the property. Caught a schnapper off the shore in the bay. A perfect place to unwind and relax. Had everything you needed but since it was July it was very cold and damp. Heat pump warmed up the house sufficiently. Enjoyed sky sports in the evenings. Look forward to returning in the summer months.

Beautiful location
Beautiful location and very helpful host. Gorgeous sunsets, lots of birdlife, our own private wee bay to swim in, and bush walks on the property. The neighbours were all very friendly and welcoming also. Margaret was wonderful, she left us to it but was easily contacted for questions. The night before check out, she contacted us to make sure we were able to get home as there was a weather bomb, flooding in Auckland and closed roads. We were very thankful to be looked after so well and to be offered an extra night to allow a safer trip home. Thanks again Margaret, we really appreciate
