A 15 minute picturesque drive from Whangarei City takes you to this beautiful location. The large glass doors open on to the huge entertaining deck which has stunning views of Parua Bay; and with the water so close! ( it only takes 2 minutes walk across the reserve to the swimming beach).
The house has a big kitchen, and open plan living area which accommodates a group with comfort. 50 Inch Smart TV with Sky, WiFi. For heating there is a woodburner in the lounge and wood provided in box just outside the door. There are three double bedrooms, and comfortable couches in the lounge. The third bedroom is adjoined to the house, but has its own access and its own toilet. (For those who don't need this room, it is sometimes used by myself as a counselling room., with access off the driveway, not inside the gate). The laundry is a large room also adjoined to the house, and is also a drying room.
There is ample parking on the driveway.
Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$50.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Stunning view, a perfect place to relax. This home had everything we needed to completely unwind. Great communication, close amenities and perfectly located for a range of beautiful beaches. We'd definitely recommend this home.
This is an amazing property! The front gardens were so inviting and the views from the back deck were beautiful! The house has everything and communication/check-in was so easy. Highly recommended! Thank you so much-
Large comfortable home, more than we needed for the two of us, but so pleasant to have the extra room for a change. Amazing views! Huge deck with easy access to a walking trail along front of multiple properties, like a private park, and access to the beach. We enjoyed close access to interesting tavern. Altogether a great stay!
Idyllic spot with superb views. All the comforts of home in a scenic location.

Great Kiwi hospitality
Our stay in Parua Bay was wonderful. The house has incredible views of the water from both the outside decks and through the expansive windows. And if you want a break from that view, the front of the house has a lovely landscaped yard, complete with grapes and blueberries. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped , including a great espresso machine. Brett met us, gave us a thorough tour, and capped it off with bringing us his amazing bacon . The house is on a quiet street, but in walking distance to a set of shops with a small grocery, bakery and cafe. Well positioned for exploring the Whangare area. Brett’s great neighbors even invited us over for a glass of wine! We coukd not have asked for more.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. Great set-up at the house (our teenager enjoyed sleeping out in the external bedroom). We ate all our meals out on the deck with the great harbour view. Good location - walking distance to the local 4 square and a lovely cafe for coffee and an easy drive out to Ocean beach where we had fun swimming. Thank-you Beth and Brett.
This is a great place for a family holiday. The photos do not do justice to the stunning views from the deck, especially of the sunset. The house is fully equipped and very comfortable. The gardens are lovely. Beth and Brett are considerate and attentive hosts,
Lovely place, amazing view and setting, and the most welcoming and hospitable hosts you could ask for. Huge deck looking out over the bay. Perfect for early breakfasts, sunny lunches or chilled out dinners. Teenager loved the separate room/unit!
Huge deck with gorgeous sea views. Garden was beautiful with plums & peaches for picking. House was really nice, room for us all, bed comfortable, great games cupboard & the bathroom was new, shower awesome. Friendly neighborhood. Everything you'd need.
We loved it. Thanks Beth & Brett.
Waking up to see the Parua bay has been an experience unlike any other. Private. Peaceful. Powerful. Our hosts have done an amazing job to help us feel as comfortable as possible in their home as Guests, so we the Kuru family would like to extend our gratitude towards Brett and Beth for a wonderful weekend in Whangarei.
We enjoyed our stay so much. The house was absolutely fantastic, beautifully presented with everything you could need for a great holiday along with fantastic views. We didn't want to leave. So close to so many beautiful beaches and walks etc.
Thanks so much, we will book again.
We had an amazing stay at Brett and Beth's place! Would definitely stay again! Amazing hosts who at the last minute got a high chair for our friends baby and Brett was also available during our stay to replace the bbq gas cannister when it ran out.
Such a lovely beautiful spot with all day sun and if you need, shade. Really quiet neighbourhood with the beach a few minutes walk away.

Beautiful house with the best view
We have had the best time in Parua Bay. The photos online don’t make the house justice at all. It is soooooo much better. Spacious, great location, very tidy and clean. The beach is just down the hill. Brett and Beth were super friendly and welcoming! Thanks Brett for the bacon on Sunday! It was just what we needed! We will be back!

Brilliant
We've fell in love with that place. Everything there is made for a relaxing, happy time with family and friends. The wonderful house is surrounded with fruit trees and a spacious deck overlooks a beautiful bay and rolling hills. And a special thanks is for kind and welcoming owners, who've made us feel like home.

The property has amazing views looking over Parua Bay and Whangarei harbour.
The property has amazing views looking over Parua Bay and Whangarei harbour. The place was in great condition with a large deck to spend the evenings on enjoying a wine or beer as the sun went down. All necessary facilities are there to enjoy a comfortable stay.

About the host
Hosted by BrettandBethH
We moved here from Auckland 22 years ago, to have an easier life in a smaller community. Brett is a butcher and has a home kill butchery, Beth is a counsellor and is now retired. We enjoy the beauty and community in Parua Bay. We are dog lovers, Brett loves boating, Beth loves walking.
Why they chose this property
We chose the area because it is so beautiful. Just a lovely drive to town, which is big enough to provide our needs, and small enough to not cause stress.
What makes this property unique
The property is handy to village shops ,and cafes, golf course, surf beach, Manaia Club, Parua BayTavern, Mt Manaia and Mt Aubrey, fishing, and public boat ramp. We think our property stands out because the living area is large and accommodating for crowds, and can be cosy depending on how it is configured. The views are gorgeous, and the little beach is just across the reserve.
