About this property
Skipper's Haven - Opua Holiday Home
Perfectly positioned just minutes from Opua township, this welcoming retreat combines comfort, convenience, and one of New Zealand's most stunning coastal backdrops.
Designed to make the most of its elevated location, the light-filled open-plan living area flows effortlessly onto a large covered deck, where you'll find yourself spending much of your holiday. Whether it's a morning coffee as the sun rises over the bay, a leisurely afternoon with a book, or evening drinks with family and friends, the ever-changing water views provide the perfect backdrop.
With four well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms, Skipper's Haven comfortably accommodates families and groups, offering plenty of space for everyone to relax. Large windows throughout the home invite natural light inside while showcasing the beautiful surroundings from almost every room.
When it's time to explore, you're ideally located to experience the very best of the Bay of Islands. The Opua ferry is just minutes away, providing easy access to the charming waterfront village of Russell. Paihia and the historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds are only a short 10-minute drive away, while nearby beaches, walking tracks, fishing charters, and sailing adventures offer endless opportunities for outdoor fun.
Whether you're seeking a relaxing escape or an adventure-filled getaway, Skipper's Haven delivers stunning views, an unbeatable location, and plenty of space to create lasting holiday memories in the heart of the Bay of Islands. Please note that the driveway is not suitable for boats or large vans unless four-wheel drive.
