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! Or head to Opua and visit the historic ocean port! All of our Bay of Islands holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
