4 Bedroom House in Whangarei Heads

Only 2.5 hours mostly scenic drive from Auckland, or 30 minutes from Whangarei, Taurikura Bay is located near the end of the Whangarei Heads peninsula. The house is in a prime elevated location, opposite to the Bays beaches and many popular hiking trails.
Taurikura Bay is truly an awesome spot to vacation and has so much to offer. You can do as much or as little as you like and the weather is rarely an issue. Whangarei Heads is a kiwi sanctuary.
Stunning water views over the bay and up to the magnificent Mt Manaia. Safe swimming beaches only just metres away. Watch the sun set and/or the lights of the oil refinery light up on the other side of the harbour from the deck or your bed.
Bach is a traditional 'Kiwi Bach', very tidy with its own charm.
Plenty of fishing and diving from the shore or from a boat. All tide boat launching ramp (AWD or 4x4 recommended except full tide). Snapper and scallops 50 to 100m off shore.

Summary: Great location with fantastic views. Plenty of room for extended family or friends. Has everything you need & a good shower too! Hosts kept us well informed. There’s enough things to do in the area e.g good cafes, bakery, convenience store and a bar/restaurant…or just picnic in the many bays. Very relaxed and enjoyable stay.

Summary: We spent 11 nights in Whangārei Heads in the sun at this batch and it was great. I'd recommend Paul and Rose's place! It was spacious for two of us, with a comfortable bed and couches! Easy enough to work from the dining table and make the most of the sun during lunch or after work. All the things you'd expect in the kitchen and the laundry as well. Really easy to get out and explore other places from here as well as get into Whangārei.Thanks for a lovely stay and we'd be back in a heartbeat.

Summary: Great location with a lovely view. House had plenty of space inside and a front and back yard for our children to play. House was equipped with all we needed. A small playground park and calm beach across the street, but our favorite ocean spot was a quick 8min drive to Ocean beach for soft sand and waves for bodyboarding.We enjoyed our stay!
