About this property

The Drift - Arkles Bay. Studio. 200m from the beach.

Just steps from the sand, this sunny studio offers the perfect beachside retreat in beautiful Arkles Bay, Whangaparāoa.

Sleeping two, it includes a handy kitchenette, laundry facilities, and a clean private shower. Soak up the afternoon sun and unwind in comfort after a day by the sea.

Arkles Bay is one of Whangaparāoa’s hidden coastal gems — a peaceful, gently curving beach known for its soft sand, calm waters, and relaxed local vibe. Ideal for swimming, paddle-boarding, or quiet beach walks, the bay offers safe, sheltered water and stunning views across the Hauraki Gulf.

Conveniently located yet wonderfully tranquil, the studio is close to cafés, shops, coastal walks, and local attractions. With Shakespear Regional Park, Gulf Harbour Marina, and ferry trips to nearby islands all within easy reach, this is the perfect base to relax, explore, and enjoy the natural beauty of Whangaparaoa.
