Beautiful beachfront spot

Amazing place. This was our second visit. You can’t get more beachfront, and for those who love fishing and diving, the Cavalli islands are just around the corner. Nigel is a great host who communicates really well.

Perfect family holiday.

Amazing location right on the beach front. Enjoyed watching the bird and sea life right on the doorstep. A kayak around the bay as an extra activity was amazing. Certainly recommend this one. Thanks all.

Wonderful beach getaway

This Bach is the perfect place to stay for a relaxing break with friends and family. The location is unbeatable and peaceful, we were often the only people on the beach during our stay. We loved the peace and quiet, amazing views and the opportunity to explore or fish on the kayaks. A well equipped kitchen ideal for foodies and a comfortable place to stay and relax. Thanks Nigel.

Unique stay at Te Ngaere beach house built around a tree

Set right on the beachfront & just metres from the sea meant lots of swimming in the warm water & walks on the beach. At night we could hear the waves breaking on the shore & watch the beautiful sunsets while having our dinner outside. The house built in the 70’s around a Pohutukawa tree was very special.

Fantastic property right on one of the nicest beachfronts in Northland.

Right from our initial dealings with Nigel the owner who couldn’t have been more helpful in all respects this was an amazing week long restful holiday for both my wife & I . The house is built around a fantastic ancient pohutukawa tree and has every convenience you would need. Having no wifi was a plus for us - bring a book and sit on the deck instead ! Cannot recommend highly enough - we will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Nigel Hall

This unique property has been in family ownership since 1975.
We are proud of our Te Ngaere Bay and hope others that have stayed have enjoyed the experiences we have had over the past 35 years.

Why they chose this property

Te Ngaere Bay is a unique Northland experience. You leave our property and you are on Te Ngaere Beach. There's nothing like it.
A very old and handsome pohutukawa tree enhances a quirky and unique atmosphere.
