About this property

Teaghlach: Tapeka / Russell Holiday Home

Take a 2 minute Stroll from this spacious holiday home to beautiful Tapeka Beach for swimming, kayaking (kayaks provided), sun or a spot of fishing.
Enjoy the sea views from the large decks, the living areas or from the master bedroom.
Bush and beach walks are there for those who feel energetic. Walk the bush walks at night and you might see the kiwi (please observe only and respect them). Kiwi calls are heard most nights.
Cafe and restaurants are close by in beautiful historic Russell or via a quick ferry ride to Paiha.
This is your gateway to the magnificent Bay of Islands or to venturing further afield to tourist attractions in Northland.

This house has close access to two beaches. The first is a safe sandy beach with pontoon (in summer). The second is a rocky beach with rock pools. Good for snorkeling and exploring.

Take Bob’s walk through the bush or walk up the hill toward Russell. Walk to the end of Titore Way and you will be able to walk through the bush to Russell. A must for us and our grandchildren. We make this a daily event. The reward is coffee or icecreams on the waterfront in Russell. Or to get your daily exercise walk up the hill to Tapeka Pt, the old Maori Pa site, and enjoy the panoramic views of the bay.

These are just some of the options to fill your days. You will find you do not have enough hours in the day to do everything.
Special conditions:
•No parties and no additional guests staying beyond those booked.
•No smoking inside.
•No tents or additional overnight guests without prior permission

Extras: Linen (preferred to bring your own. Optional linen may be available for overseas guests, NZ$30.00 per person); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

Lovely family home away from home
We came to Teaghlach as an extended family including little ones. Teaghlach is very nicely set up; toys for little ones, a well-equipped kitchen and a welcoming, homely space to sit and enjoy family time in. The host was great to deal with and quick to respond to questions prior our stay. We loved our stay and only wish we had booked for longer!

Comfortable, spacious house in great location
We really enjoyed staying here. Great indoor outdoor flow with spacious verandah, plenty of space for young children to play, and they enjoyed the box of toys. Good outlook, and birdsong including kiwi. Swimming beach just down the road, and good walks thrpugh bush to Russell and onto Tapeka point. Quick drive to Russell. Really recommend!

Amazing holiday
We were an extended family of three siblings and their families, plus our parents, so 15 altogether. There was plenty of space, and even when it was raining, the covered deck allowed us to get outside. Such a great location, with so much to do in the surrounding areas. Everything we needed - thank you!!

Beautiful Property in a stunning location
We have had a fantastic few days at this amazing property. The rooms were lovely, large, and perfectly configured for large groups and multiple families. The king single bunk beds were great for the older kids and so comfy, as were the main beds. The living area was spacious, clean and felt very inviting and comfortable. The check in process was easy and communication from the owners was brilliant and friendly. A great position to explore Russell and the Bay of Islands. We would definitely recommend and we would stay again if we're ever lucky enough to come back to New Zealand.
