About this property
Huge 180 degree views of Doubtless Bay
Doubtless Views is a large family home set on a regularly maintained 1.7 acre private garden estate with an unobstructed 180 degree view of Doubtless Bay in it's entirety, from Tokerau Beach right round to the village at Hihi and all in between. A seagull's view of the bay and like the bird, just a few minutes from being under the shady Pohutukawas that overhang the sand at Cable Bay and Coopers Beach.
The open plan cathedral ceiling lounge and dining area, downstairs apartment and 3 of the 4 upstairs bedrooms take in the massive view. There is a 50 metre long strip of flowering flax beneath the deck, a Tui Mecca. The property has recently been purchased by an overseas couple. The quality chattels are all new and they've spared no expense. Furniture, white goods, beds, TV, outdoor furniture, the BBQ, right down to the crisp sheets and bath linen, it's all brand new. Your Netflix, Sky, TV on demand etc subscriptions can be cast from your device to the new 50" Smart TV and unlimited speedy VDSL broadband. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and deck access. The main and apartment bathrooms were completely refurbished in October 2017. Garaging for 3 cars/boats, two end to end in the long garage and for larger groups, the air conditioned apartment downstairs sleeps 2 in their own private space. The quality new beds in bedrooms 2 and 3 and the apartment are dual-purpose. They can be set either as long singles or made up with a thick topper to create super king size double beds.
Some folk like to holiday in amongst the Summer melee, right on the coast. Others like to take a step back at the end of a sun-soaked day. To the high ground and as the BBQ sizzles, point out and discuss destinations for tomorrow's adventure. If you're the later, Doubtless Views is for you.
Special conditions: The Super King beds in Bedrooms 2 and 3 can be unclipped and made up as King Singles. Please specify your needs at the time of booking.
Parties and non-paying guests are not allowed. Breaches may result in a no refund termination of the stay.

Great stay here, beautiful views, lots of room, and one of the few accomodations that allow twin beds as well which was perfect for our group. Small oversights missed such as lack of towels, no handsoap for toilet and not enough toilet paper, but David was able to provide soap and TP immediately. There is obvious wear and tear in bathroom ceilings, but the price makes it affordable. Lots of parking space too.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the house was very comfortable, especially the beds, and the view was captivating. It made for a very relaxing holiday. The kids loved exploring the garden, kicking a ball around in the garden, and visiting the gentle natured horse next door. Communication with David was excellent. Would highly recommend and would stay again.
The location and setting of the property suited us perfectly after a tiring day fishing to return back to the comfort and serenity of the property was amazing..... would highly recommend for any group be it family or Fishing mates
The house was perfect for what we needed. Our group of age range 0-40 had everything we wanted and more with this stay. Beautiful views to relax and beaches nearby to venture to. We have already re-booked again for the end of the year.
Great spot for the family get together. 3 generations under the one roof. Day trip to Cape Reinga, day trip to Paihia and Waitangi, Karikari Peninsula, lots of great beaches.
Hope to be back soon!
Shops nearby. Gas bottle lasted 2 hours. Second day a couple of us had to buy extra blankets. The place had a musky smell. We dare not leave our clothes in the wardrobe.
Clean, comfy, amazing view. Good parking space for the boat. Great lawn for frizbee and backyard cricket. Close to shops.
Highly recommend. We'll be rebooking!!
Had a great time at an awesome house.
Great views and house was very comfortable.
Left a 3 star review on cleanliness as there was quite a few dead bugs in showers , bathrooms and in the enclosed sun area. didn't bother us to much but just for your future guests it might so thought i would let you know.
I would definitely book again

Ahh yes, thanks for drawing that to my attention. My fault, every year we have the pest control guy pay the house a visit and he was there just prior to your stay. I wiped down the bench surfaces but overlooked checking the remainder of the house for fallen bugs etc. The housekeeper has since thoroughly vacuumed/cleaned.
We had 8 wonderful days at this large house with spectacular views over Doubtless Bay. It has plenty of room for everyone as well as a separate downstairs apartment with lounge/kitchenette and bathroom. Will definitely be looking to book again at some point. The only think it needs are some more outdoor chairs on the expansive deck. Even a few fold outs would be good as we couldn't all fit outside which was a shame
