Absolutely stunning, designer property

This is absolutely a home we'll plan to return to -- beautifully designed, bright, and meticulously clean and well-maintained. Our kids loved the lawns and the pool/spa. We were in the area to attend a local wedding, and thus weren't planning to sit around the house much, but the Paroa Retreat was so wonderful that we ended up spending many happy hours relaxing and enjoying the view.

An incredible property, in an incredible spot. Check in and communication was easy and super friendly. The house is amazing, photos do not do it justice. Well situated to enjoy all the bay of islands has to offer!

Why they chose this property

Paroa Retreat is a stunning property finished to the highest standards. It is very unique with floor to glass ceilings in every room and a living area surrounded by glass. It is like living outdoors, with all the creature comforts we are used to. With views out to the ocean and beyond the house is truly stunning.
