Owls Head accommodation from NZ$218

This apartment above the Post Office in the tiny village of Owl's Head is one of the most-unique places we've stayed during our world travels. We were there over New Year's weekend, and in winter things tend to shutdown around here. However, the magnificent solitude and coastal walks out to the beautiful Owl's Head Lighthouse was just what we were looking for as a serene way to welcome in 2024. For such a small place, there's a ton of room in the apartment with a queen bed on the main level and more upstairs. We appreciated the well-stock galley kitchen, where we prepared a NYE feast of fresh local seafood. Off the back is large, elevated deck, which wasn't a great place for sitting in winter, but must be spectacular overlooking the gardens in summertime. Doug was a very helpful, gracious host who checked in via the app to ensure that we had everything we needed, and even let us have a late check out on New Year's Day. We'd highly recommend this lovely apartment, and definitely hope to come back when the weather is warmer.

All of the smoke detectors need the batteries replaced. I bought batteries and replaced most of them but there was one still incessantly beeping. The house was great. We will book it again The

I would recommend this one for good location, clean with easy access and a fenced in yard for the pup
