Lovely spot if you are keen to stay out in Whangarei Heads

Enjoyed our stay; well-equipped unit with a super comfy bed; friendly host who supplied lots of useful information about the area including where to eat including where to purchase groceries especially over the New Year period when many places are shut. Helpful! Be sure to drive over to Pataua South (estuary AND beach over the dune) - fabulous spot for some beach time.

Luxury self-catering retreat close to excellence walkings

Located a stone's throw from Little Munro Bay beach. Very comfortable accommodation for a couple. Excellent location for walking in the Whangārei Heads area which has many good hill, bush and beach options. Large fridge, microwave, hob and barbecue ideal for self catering. Not too many places to eat out beyond fish and chips, unless you drive half an hour into Whangārei. Hosts live on the floor above and were very helpful. We had a fantastic week relaxing, walking nearby and made a couple of trips into Whangārei. Highly recommended.

Awesome location!

Really enjoyed our stay at Di and Roger’s place. The location is awesome - just in front of the beach and a lovely 30min bush walk around the coast. And a short drive to beautiful beaches - Ocean Beach and Smugglers Bay. The property was super tidy, comfy bed, well equipped kitchenette - everything you could need.

About the host

Hosted by difin26

Host profile image
Our names are Roger & Dianne and We have returned to New Zealand to retire after many years living in Australia and 12 years sailing our 40ft yacht around the Queensland coast, asia and the pacific. Both having originated from this area we have come home to roost in the most beautiful part of the country to be near family and for Roger to enjoy the fishing, which he is fanatical about. We have both travelled extensively to many countries and enjoy meeting new people to share experiences with.

What makes this property unique

Quiet and Peaceful and wake up to lovely sea views. Close to the fishing grounds and beautiful coastal walks
