Neighbours are few and far between. The area is extremely quiet and traffic volume is very low. There are a number of locations nearby to launch a boat. There are some great fishing spots on and off the water. Elliots Bay (5-10 walk) hosts surfing competitions and is a popular surf beach for locals. Taupiri Bay (5 min walk) is one of the safest swim beaches in the North. Little Taupiri Bay (across the road) is your own private little bay (although the locals sometimes enjoy it as well). We regularly see dolphins, Humpback Whales and Orca's from the deck of our house!
You will get to enjoy our Spa (Hot Tub). We have a Hot Springs Aria Spa Pool installed. This 5 person spa pool is top of the line and has been voted the best Spa Pool (Internationally) by Consumer Digest on more than one occasion. Sit back and make the most of the 35 jets this spa has to offer plus enjoy the sea views and the stars at night. A luxury added just to ensure you really do get to relax at Little Taupiri, Stunning Views!

I was deeply impressed by how peaceful and relaxing it was to just stay at the property and do absolutely nothing. It was such a healing experience that I’ve already rebooked for another stay right after getting back. Can’t wait to return!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The views were stunning! The property was pristine and well appointed. Perfect Northlands getaway while also being an easy drive to the Bay of Islands area. Loved it!
We had the most amazing stay at this property. The views were amazing and the property was clean and there was lots of the room for all of us.
We did not want to leave and wish we had booked for a longer stay but we will definitely be back. Thank you!
Lovely new home well equipped with high quality fittings and finishings. Perfect for a do-nothing holiday. Completely private and up a very steep driveway. We loved it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our winter trip at little Taupiri. Even though the weather was a mixed bag, the place is well setup to be entertained in rain or shine. We didn't notice the power outage due to the amazing backup system in place. The children loved exploring the local beaches and we are looking forward to returning. Great communication with the owner as always!
Ive stayed a many locations around the north island over the years and this one takes the cake. Amazing views and space. It is very well equip. They have kayak gear, snorkeling gear, fishing equipment and others to keep you busy. Would love to comeback.
A beautiful house in an amazing setting. Everything was perfect. Beautiful views. Great attention to every detail of what guests might need. Very responsive owner. We didn't want to leave.
Perfect place for a quiet retreat with every amenity, nice-to-have’s and modern conveniences thought of and there for you so all you need to do is grocery shopping before arriving and then enjoy.
Views were outstanding, bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas were all nicely appointed.
Enjoyed the secluded beach at the bottom of the driveway across the road, day trips via boats and hiking around the Bay of Islands and every sunrise and sunset from the decks. Plenty more to do on my next visit back!
Amazing location- quiet/ secluded. Close to the beach.
Stunning Views - sea vista from Cape Brett through to the Poor Knight Islands
House - spacious and clean. Everything has been thought of. The pics and descriptions are accurate.
Check in process- contactless and easy to follow.
Property Owner - excellent to deal with. Communications are honest & timely. They tell all you need to know about the property and the surrounding area.
Could sit and watch the ocean for hours at Little Taupiri, in fact we did! Binoculars are a must. We saw dolphins and orcas on this visit.
House is so comfortable, quality appliances and furniture. Bed linen was lovely.
Tv, wifi all worked perfect. Spa was lovely to enjoy after a long day at the beach walking. Favourite part is the view, sitting in the beanbag reading under the shade of the umbrella. Magnificent. Second visit for us. We will be back. Wonderful hosts who we really appreciate sharing their holiday home with us as it’s very special.
We (three old friends) spent two nights here to celebrate a birthday. It surpassed expectations in every way. The view is the star player, just incredible. We ended up chatting on the deck at great length, occasionally looking through binoculars for whales (no luck). Very comfortable bedrooms, well appointed. Excellent kitchen. Loads of extras, beautifully stocked with things to do, like swimming, spa, games, marveling at the view! Absolutely wonderful. Hosts are great communicators. Spotlessly clean. Loved every second.
We (myself, my husband and our adult daughter) spent 3 nights at the Little Taupiri and we all wished we could stay longer. The house was amazing - a little piece of luxury in the beautiful surroundings, with lots of privacy. We loved the deck, the views and pretty much everything about the place. We will definitely be back!
We loved every minute of our stay at Little Taupiri. Everything you needed was at your fingertips; everything - from the linen to the wifi and the views - were of the highest quality. We will definitely return, especially to take a quiet, relaxing break.
Great property but couldn’t sleep on pull out couch, so uncomfortable. Should really advertise as sleeps 6. Wanted to have a BBQ but it was too dirty to use and one burner didn’t work
This home was absolutely fantastic. Had everything we could possibly need for our week long stay. The kayaks, outdoor hot shower, spa were huge bonuses. Oh my goodness, and the views - they are phenomenal! I could never decide which comfy chair or deck bean bag to sit in to get the best view. Book this place, you won’t regret it!
