4 Bedroom House in Whangarei Heads
The beach house is very spacious. It has 3 bedrooms with amazing views in every direction. House is walking distance to a beautiful white sandy surf beach, (life guards on duty in the summer). It is also very close to the harbour bays which are great to swim in around high tide or launch your boat. There are many famous and fabulous walks in the nearby area, particularly Mt Manaia at McLeods Bay and the 'gorilla'/Peach Cove walk just to the east of the house.
Please note there is no internet, however, you are able to access full internet via your smart phone. There is good reception particularly with Spark.
The house is ideal for two families and however the house will easily accommodate up to 6 guests, however, you must be aware of the sleeping arrangements as some of the guests would have to sleep in the sleep out under the house. (see below).
The main level of the house has two identical wings both with luxurious bedrooms at each end of the house, both are identical and have superking beds and ensuites and French doors leading to each end of the deck. So perfect for 2 couples or 4 adults (east side bed can be converted to two king singles). There is single bed linen under window box. There is also a small bunk room on the main level which is great for young children or a smallish adult. The bunks are smaller than normal single beds so can be a little tight for a big adult. There is also a portacot, underneath the bunk beds.
The other accommodation is a sleep out under the house (please see photos). There are two queen mattresses down there on a elevated platform. Both beds are made up with linen and topper pads. There is plenty of ventilation for the summer nights.
Please note the sleep out has a low ceiling, and no bathroom facilities. You have to walk outside to enter the main house. Its a comfortable area though and great for teenagers. It will sleep four but more comfortable for two people.
The main area is open plan with a fully equipped kitchen, together with serving bar and bar stools, which is a great conversation area. The dining, lounge and kitchen are situated in a large space with 3 sets of French doors all opening onto a large north facing deck running the length of the house and facing the ocean. It's an easy 5 minute walk to the beach.
From the kitchen bench you look down to the beach, with the Poor Knight Islands in the distance. There are stunning mountains to the right, where the 'Gorilla' mountain sits and you can hear the kiwis at night roaming freely in the native bush close to the house.
There is also a great outdoor private area with BBQ, outdoor table that seats 10 -12 under a pergola. This is a cool area to lounge in when the days are hot and perfect for those evening BBQs. There are two outdoor beanbags and assorted deck chairs. Dogs are very welcome
.The house is warm and cozy in the winter with north facing sun streaming in from daybreak to sunset. There are heated tiles (and heated towel rails) in both the bathrooms and this heating extends out into the entranceway, acting as central heating.
There is also a large garage/games room which has a pool table and dart board. This has provided loads of entertainment over the years. We ask that you respect the pool table as it is a cherished item! So please no children are allowed to play pool! Thanks for respecting that.
Your pets are welcome, just beware its a kiwi conservation area so dogs/cats must be contained on the property and not allowed to wander.
Ocean Beach is renowned for its pristine white sandy beach, great surfing, many bush, beach, harbour and mountain walks plus diving for scallops, collecting mussels, fishing or just relaxing on the beach. You will often see dolphins frolicking in the bay. This beautiful area is named "The Whangarei Heads" and is just a 25 minute drive from Whangarei Airport.
It is a 5 minute drive back to Bream Head which is the entrance to the Whangarei Harbour where you have calm seas, great for launching your boat, kayaking, swimming, fishing or just relaxing with a book under a pohutukawa tree. This is a great area to take young children with safe swimming. Just keep an eye on tides, it’s best to go around the high tide (tide chart in the garage!).
Please feel free to request an early or late check in. We are very happy to accommodate this request if its not a back to back booking.
