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;

We received a very warm welcome from our host. The accommodation was excellent in a stunning location . We had everything that we needed in the immaculately presented accommodation
Had everything we needed, compact but very well set out, lovely and clean, very close to beach and a bit of a view from the lounge. It was fabulous and would definitely stay again.

Thanks for your review and for leaving everything so clean and tidy. It was a pleasure having you and your friends stay.
This was just the latest of a number of repeat visits to this exceptional property. Its beachfront location is great and, as always it was well-equipped, comfortable and in immaculate order
A very relaxing place to be. Joanna and Grant are very helpful and allow privacy. They are great hosts.The b and b house is spotlessly clean, well furnished and has those 'extra' touches.
So quiet and peaceful and right by the beach for lovely strolls. Second time staying here and love it; beautiful bach which has everything you need and is very comfortable and homely:)

Thank you very much for your lovely review. Also thank you for leaving everything so clean and tidy it was much appreciated. I hope your flights went well and you settle back into life again without too many hiccups. All the best.
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!
