About this property

DAVINAS - Beach-front Holiday Apartment

The apartment is located right on Coopers beach, elevated enough to see the incredible views across Doubtless Bay with a very short walk across the lawn straight onto the golden sand beach.

Located underneath the main house with its own private entrance; there are three bedrooms with 5 beds, one bathroom and a great deck to enjoy the views!
The apartment has a full kitchen and seated dining area, a BBQ or try the many nearby cafes and restaurants.

Kayaks, bodyboards and a paddleboard are available for sea-lovers, or stay on terra-firma and be king of the sand-castles, building your sand-mansion in the shade of the pohutukawa trees.

Coopers Beach Village (3min drive) has all the essentials for your holiday including a Four Square, Butcher, Beach Box Cafe, Thirsty Liquor, Pharmacy, Tackle Shop, Medical Centre and hair salon.

Or head in the other direction to Mangonui Village for arts and crafts, fabulous ice-cream shop (c'mon ice-cream nachos!), restaurants and cafes including the famous Mangonui Fish Shop.

Mill Bay boat ramp is 3 min drive - bring your boat and explore the harbour!

Davinas on the Beach is the perfect base to explore the Far North:
Day trip to Cape Reinga, Te Paki stream, 90 Mile Beach.
Explore the Kerikeri, Whangaroa, Paihia.

David and Ina (Davinas) built this property as their forever home. A special place to enjoy their retirement fishing, swimming, and spending time with friends and family. They added the unit downstairs to host their children and grandchildren for school holidays, birthdays and Christmas to make incredible memories at the beach as a family.

David and Ina loved sharing their little piece of paradise with people from all over the world so that people could create their own memories at Coopers Beach.

Their son, Brett now looks after the property and will be your Host during your stay.

Fabulous

Our stay at DAVINAS - Beach-front Holiday Apartment, was fantastic. We had everything we needed to make our stay a very enjoyable experience. We ahve stayed in alot of diferent holiday accomadation and Davinas was one of the best. The amenities were top notch, coffee machine, extra towels, just all the little things that are often missing when you go to a holiday stay these days, location, cleanliness, I cannot speak highly enough of this Bookabach! Many thanks from our family.
Beach directly under the DAVINAS.
Looking down the beach, short walk from DAVINAS.
My son using the Paddle Board that was available, on the beach a 2 minute walk from the house.
The house looking up from the pathway to the beach. We stayed in the flat on the ground floor.

Didn't cook at the accomodation but seemed set up and organized. Good gas heater in living area. Very clean accomodation. The best thing is the view and walks on the beach, valium in a vista.We were asked in instructions to not use the pathway but use a grassed thoroughfare along side of house to get to entrance of our downstairs accomodation. This was I am guessing to give visitors upstairs more privacy and perhaps cut down on noise. The grass was quite long and because it was shaded it stayed wet most days. Was not fun having wet shoes and hard to pull bag through grass. We are 69 and 74 years old and very quiet neighbors. The other problem was the condensation on windows in morning. Very bad in bedrooms. Had to wipe down the windows in the mornings to dry the windows with the two bedrooms we used. It was early October and I'm thinking probably not a problem in summer.

Perfect Beach Holiday Getaway

The location was perfect in terms of access to the beach, shops, very peaceful setting and good springboard to other locations of interest in the area. The beds seemed a bit dated and could be upgraded to accommodate 2 couples. Overall we loved our stay there.

Great location at Coopers!

Great property just metres from the beach! We really enjoyed staying in this bach due to the beach proximity. It was also quite nice that they have a few toys/books/beach toys for little ones - we appreciated it. The only cons were: -the people staying in the property upstairs were quite noisy in their walking (unless that's the way it sounds with anybody - it seem excessive even dragging chairs etc) which was annoying early in the morning and late in the evening. -not enough containers/bowls in the kitchen so we had to get creative with how to serve food, store left overs. I think there was a good amount of everything else.

A weekend getaway

Pros: unbeatable location, deck with a beautiful view and bbq, a lot of space, well appointed kitchen and bathroom, very friendly and accommodating hosts.Cons: very soft (and/or old) mattress and uncomfortable pillows (strongly suggest upgrading the bedding); one can hear footsteps and people talking/ moving furniture upstairs - not a lot of privacy.Overall, good for a couple of nights, but we would not stay longer.
