The property
Set right on the beachfront at Parekura Bay, Te Uenga offers sweeping views across the Bay of Islands — a rare chance to stay in a beloved family bach cherished for more than 70 years. With uninterrupted outlooks toward the Poroporo Islands and the island sanctuary of Urupukapuka, this classic Kiwi retreat invites guests to slow down, breathe in the salt air, and reconnect with the simple joy of holiday living. The outdoor spaces make it easy to embrace life by the water. A generous lawn and quiet setting — with native bush on one side and distant neighbours on the other — create a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere, often filled with the sound of gentle waves and morning tui song. Folding doors open the kitchen and dining area onto a large deck, perfect for relaxed meals with unobstructed views of the bay. Downstairs, the cosy sitting room welcomes summer breezes through sliding doors, while a fireplace sets the tone for comfortable evenings indoors. Spread across three levels, Te Uenga features three queen bedrooms upstairs, along with a bathroom and a charming porch off the master room that includes two sets of bunks — ideal for children or extra guests. A second bathroom downstairs ensures convenience for groups, and the practical laundry with washer and dryer makes beach days easy. WiFi runs throughout the home, and the well‑equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, coffee machine, and multiple fridge/freezers. Though not modernised like a new build, this warm, character‑filled bach delivers everything needed for relaxed, memorable stays. Set in the peaceful settlement of Parekura Bay, this is a destination where daily life slows and the natural beauty of the Bay of Islands takes centre stage. A small ramp provides boat launching access for exploring nearby island sanctuaries and exceptional fishing areas, with designated caulerpa restrictions to keep in mind. Russell and Paihia are each around a 30‑minute drive away — offering cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and many of the region’s top attractions when guests are ready for a slice of local adventure.
Please note that due to the presence of caulerpa seaweed, fishing or anchoring is not permitted in designated areas.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
About the location
Parekura Bay is a quiet inlet located in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Located around the corner from Te Uenga bay, this stunning, bush encompassed location is a great spot for a quiet getaway. Often described as the jewel of the north, the Bay of Islands offers beautiful scenes full of blue seas, hidden coves and native wildlife. Paihia is the go to destination to tick off a few of those bucket list items such as swimming with the dolphins, going through the 'hole in the rock', cruising around the many idyllic islands by boat or yacht, deep sea game fishing, visiting the historic Maori site Waitangi Treaty Grounds, or catching an aerial view of the area by parasail! A short 15-minute ferry trip across the harbour and you'll find yourself in Russell- a charming seaside village; drenched in history and bustling with art galleries, eateries and gorgeous views. All of our Bay of Islands holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
