Quiet Country Living in the Bay of Islands

Highlights:
• Peaceful base between Kerikeri and Paihia

• Private deck overlooking rural greenery

• Dedicated parking with space for a boat

Positioned in the countryside between Kerikeri and Paihia, this private two-bedroom home shares the land with the owner’s main residence. The guest home remains independently situated, with its own entrance, parking and outdoor space. Approximately 12 minutes from Kerikeri and 15 minutes from Paihia, it accommodates up to four guests.

The open-plan interior brings the kitchen, dining and living areas together in a bright, easygoing space. Soft neutral tones, woven pendant lighting and garden-facing windows create a calm atmosphere, while the well-equipped kitchen includes a gas cooktop, oven, refrigerator and Nespresso coffee machine. A breakfast bar provides a relaxed setting for morning coffee or casual meals.

Two comfortable bedrooms are arranged with one king bed and one queen, offering flexibility for couples, a small family or friends travelling together. Blackout blinds, clothing storage and supplied bed linen support an uncomplicated stay. The shared bathroom has a glass-enclosed shower and contemporary finishes, while a washing machine adds convenience for longer visits.

A private timber deck extends the living space outdoors, with open views across lawns, hedges and surrounding trees. Outdoor dining makes the most of Northland’s mild climate, whether beginning the day slowly or returning for a quiet evening after exploring the coast. Dedicated on-site parking includes sufficient space for guests travelling with a boat.

From this central location, guests can explore Kerikeri’s historic sites and food producers, visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds or continue to Paihia for ferries, sailing and island excursions. The wider Bay of Islands encompasses 144 islands, with opportunities for kayaking, fishing, coastal walks and wildlife cruises. The home provides a restful rural counterpoint to days spent discovering the region’s beaches, waterways and historic communities.
