The Oke Beach House

Overlooking the striking blue waters of Hauai Bay, this home offers grand, modern spaces, privacy and restrained, tasteful decor. Start the day on the shaded back terrace, with long tables providing an ideal breakfast spot in the shadow of swaying trees. The home features an extensive bar seating area and plush living room, with a quiet beach, scenic walking trail and historic Russel town nearby. Oke Beach House is a shining example of considered, sophisticated design, with the home’s flat roof, straight lines and panoramic position announcing it as one of the finest options in the Bay of Islands. Drink in views of verdant islands and passing sailboats in the distance, with the home’s large central area being a natural congregation spot for large groups. Softly furnished bedrooms and refreshing, walk-in showers are ideal after an active day around the locality, while the home’s barbecue can quickly serve up fresh seafood and hearty vegetables for a terrace feast. Located in one of the North Island’s most picturesque areas, the home is just steps from the sandy beaches and tranquil water of both Hauai Bay and Oke Bay. The nearby Cape Brett Walkway is a fine option for an energizing hike, and offering clear views of the rugged forests and geography of the bay area. A short drive past local bays and over rolling hills will bring guests to the quaint village of Russell, complete with historic settlements, island cruises through the bay, and a nearby range of top-tier dining options.

Villa in Totara North

Kauri Hill Estate

Please note that these properties have open plans and privacy between bedrooms may be limited. Please speak with your Villa Specialist for more detail. Combine 2 neighboring villas and invite even more friends to the party at this Harbor view hillside estate in New Zealand. Stargaze from the hot tubs on wrap-around decks, dine alfresco amongst lush greenery and catch up on some reading while sailboats navigate the harbor below. After a hike through the estate's private trails, check out nearby golf courses, wineries, and beaches. Group gatherings are a breeze at Kauri Hill Estate, but when you'd like to sneak away with that special someone, that's when you'll truly appreciate the 2 separate houses. The kids will love watching movies and hanging out in the smaller lounges while the adults turn up the sound system in the main room. When the party inevitably moves to the terrace, fire up the grill and turn it into a barbeque. Catch the big game on satellite television, and invite some friends, there's parking for 7 and a helipad. If you're playing host, the combined dinner seating for the estate is 14 inside and 14 alfresco. After dinner, let your inner mixologist shine and get crafty with a few cocktails in the kitchen. And, don't worry about the heat, both villas are fully air-conditioned. Cycling enthusiasts and thrill seekers will want to test out the trails at Waitangi Forest. Whether you're into long distance or mountain biking, you'll find what you're looking for in the forest. Want to get out on the water? Go after some blue and Stripped Marlin in Whangaroa Harbor, fishing charters are readily available. Then, shoot at round at Kauri Cliffs, a favorite stop on the PGA Tour. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.

Villa in Russell

Cloud 9

The sea, boundless and blue, dominates this hilltop villa in the Bay of Islands. It fills the views from the sun-kissed deck and even finds its way indoors, in touches like the kitchen’s sea-green cabinets. Pack a picnic to take down to the beach a half-mile away, or book a helicopter or jet-ski ride for an adrenaline rush along with dramatic coastal scenery. Follow a winding private road to the heights above the Bay of Oneroa—and your own outdoor living areas with a pool, hot tub, lounging and dining furniture, and a barbecue. There’s an espresso machine to fuel all your holiday adventures, and a smart TV and Wi-Fi to help you relax when you return from them. This vacation rental is bordered on 3 sides by a wraparound deck, and a glass wall connects the al-fresco spaces with the indoor great room. Sunlight bounces off the honey-toned wood floors and whitewashed ceiling in the living and dining areas, and sea green cabinets are a soft touch in the fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar. This luxury property has one honeymoon-worthy master suite with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and its own terrace. The other 2 bedrooms have a king bed and 2 twin beds, and share access to a hall bathroom, making them ideal for a family traveling with children. From the villa’s perch, it’s a half-mile down the hill to the nearest beach. But your explorations should continue to the nearby town of Russell, where you can stop for lunch or dinner at waterfront cafes and restaurants housed in historic buildings, and Paihia, New Zealand’s first capital and the starting point for your choice of boat cruises, swims with dolphins, and fishing excursions going after the area’s famed black marlin.
