About this property

Kanuka Bay - water view, peaceful.



Come and relax on the deck with stunning water views. In the evening you can sit in the private 4 person spa pool and hear Kiwi, Morepork and Weka calling. Watch the start and end of the boat racing Wednesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons in summer while enjoying a drink on the deck!

We are 7 minutes drive to Russell Township where you will find cafe's, restaurants and shops. Also close by are all the stunning beaches the Bay of Islands has to offer where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, surfing, sunbathing or just a casual stroll. Within 3 minutes walk is the start of the scenic boardwalk/bushwalk to Russell or explore Okiato, the area that was once New Zealand's first capital. Paihia is a short drive away (8KM) via the Car Ferry. Within a 2min drive is the Omata Estate Vineyard.
