We enjoyed all the amenities for our summer holiday stay! Even though the weather wasn’t great the home was beautiful and allowed a relaxing stay regardless. Great views, a bookshelf library and quick drives to local activities was excellent. Thank you!
If you're looking for a quintessential waterfront kiwi bach experience in the sheltered Bay of Islands, this is your place!
What's not to love about this spot... the home was a beautiful balance of modern living and classic bach life... everything you need, and nothing you don't. We descended here for a family celebration (12 of us) and it was super comfortable with lots of space for everyone.
It's incredibly private, in part thanks to the stunning location, and also the beach access (make sure you check the tides so you don't try and arrive an hour or so either side of high tide) :)
We made good use of the kayaks, paddle boards and complimentary beach towels (the water is literally on your doorstep).
Lots of fridge space and a great kitchen made home catering easy and Dave (our host) was a real gem.
We definitely hope to be back one day!
This has been our second stay at Motupipi and the hosts are the best. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful place with us again. We have stayed in quite a few holiday homes and have never returned to the same place twice but we will definitely be back to Motupipi again. Thanks Hamish, Gaylene, Kathryn and Shakey for your fantastic hospitality. See you again next year.
A very unique style of accommodation, a very well restored 1875 chapel converted to a compact accommodation space. Small kitchen, but adequate for your needs. Nice outdoor area overlooking two ponds, heaps of bird life.
Overall, a great place to stay.
