3 Bedroom Apartment in Opua

This historic (B rating) homestead has been in the family since it was moved to its current site in 1885. It was run as an accommodation house by my great grandmother Jane Morris, then after her by her daughter-in-law (my grandmother) Kathleen Morris. This apartment was completely renovated in 2016. Feel as though you have stepped back in time as it is beautifully and comfortably decorated in traditional style. It certainly has the WOW factor. Nice and cool in the summer, and cosy and warm in the winter. It is located on the beach front at Opua. Wake up to the sound of sea gulls and stunning views over the Bay. Opua is a very quiet small township, but there is always something happening. Sit on the verandah and watch the activity. Only 100 metres to the car ferry and general store, another 100 metres to the marina and cafe. By road, it is only 5 kilometres to Paihia or Russell. A fantastic walk between Opua and Paihia following the coastal walkway, with other lovely walks only a short distance away. It is also a great starting point for the Opua to Horeke bike trail. Simply the best place for a relaxing, rejuvenating holiday and a perfect location from which to explore the stunning Bay of Islands and the Far North. Please note there is another apartment downstairs that sleeps 4 people. Please see the separate listing.

Summary: Relaxing stay in a fantastic location overlooking Opua harbor. Our upstairs unit had an outdoor deck overlooking the bay, where we spent time watching the boats & ferries come and go mornings & evenings.The apartment was spacious & well stocked. The host responded immediately to us, and made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant, comfortable stay. The house manager, Debbie, was extremely friendly & helpful.Exceptional location in a historic building!

Summary: We were super-impressed with this property. Very tastefully renovated to a high standard and furnished with period pieces in keeping with the age of the building. Everything you could possibly need was supplied, including beach towels and coffee machine. I for one will be returning sometime! Debbie is a gem and very friendly and helpful. I left a paid or sandals under the dining table and she very kindly sent them to be by courier - thanks so much Debbie!

Summary: This three bedroom and two bathrooms was fabulous for our family of 4. We loved sitting on the balcony and having a cuppa and watching the world go by. Was only a short drive to Paihia. As a bonus had a washing machine and dryer. Check in was super easy
