About this property

Stunning modern beachfront apartment

*Full refund offered for cancellations due to covid travel restriction*

The apartment is separated from the main house by large double garage and enjoys good sea views of Arkles Bay and out to Rangitoto Island. Brand new in March 2017 the 60sqm size makes it much larger than most motel/hotel rooms plus the large deck extends the living area for relaxed outdoor dining. Arkles Bay is ideal for kayakers, paddle boarders etc as there is the very picturesque Weiti and Okura Rivers within easy paddling proximity. Dolphins and Orcas are often seen in the bay and fishing off the beach can sometimes provide you a meal.

The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with everything you are likely to need along with dishwasher and full size. Fridge/freezer.

Arkles Bay is only 35 minutes from Auckland city. It is handy to lots of activities including Aucklands only indoor skiing and snowboard facility - Snow Planet which is only 10 minutes away.

Arkles is also very close to Stanmore Bay, Little Manly, Manly, Matakatia Bay, Tindalls, Shakespear Bay, Army Bay and Gulf Harbour, and a short 15 minute drive to the very popular Orewa Beach.

There are fabulous local markets held on Saturdays and Sundays in Silverdale and Orewa or further afield to Warkworth or the Matakana farmers market.
Special conditions:
No smoking.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

Great mini break

Everything was just perfect. Even if the weather was overcast, we got to spend time on the beach and rocks, had games and books for use, and we had a thoughtful welcome gift which was well received after our drive up. Hosts were lovely and welcoming. Totally recommend this place!

Home Away from Home

A beautifully clean and fresh, well appointed unit. There is a washing machine in the bathroom and a line outside (pegs included). Joana and Grant have put much thought into the needs of their guests. Top marks to them. Arkles Bay is now on our map. One recommendation: that Joanna and Grant put a safety strip of some kind across the ranch slider glass so that people don't incorrectly see it as open space to walk through.
