About this property

River Palms Retreat - Paihia Holiday Home

Relax and recharge in paradise on the spacious deck or in the lounge, enjoying the fabulous indoor-outdoor flow through the modern, immaculate living, dining, and kitchen areas.

Whip up a tasty brunch for your group or family and enjoy an alfresco meal under the umbrella. Come evening, immerse yourself in pure bliss with a soak in your private spa while your group fires up the Weber and winds down on warm summer nights.

Sure to impress, this four-bedroom holiday home is equipped with an outdoor fireplace, a Smart TV for entertainment if the weather has you indoors, and three heat pumps for year-round comfort.

This inviting accommodation boasts three bathrooms, laundry facilities, and ample boat parking, while comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests on a single level. The convenience of having access to a private boat ramp and jetty on the Waitangi River, providing direct access to the Bay of Islands, makes this location a boater's paradise. No need to leave your car and trailer at public boat ramps, staying at this retreat means you are avoiding the congestion.

Just a three-hour drive north of Auckland, the retreat is within walking distance to the reserve and Haruru Falls, the boat ramp is one-minute away, and it's a five-minute drive to the Paihia waterfront with its shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Don't let this modern riverside escape slip away - The River Palms Retreat awaits!
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking. This is a pet-friendly property. All guests wishing to bring dogs must notify us in advance by adding them in the drop down when making their booking. The owner lives next door, has their own dog, and requires advance notification so they may keep their dog confined to their property. This allows both parties to be safety conscious and avoid any issues with their pets. There are strictly no parties at this property. The bunks at this property are only suitable for children. There are security cameras monitoring the outside of the property at all times.
