General overview

Our beach house is located at Sandy Bay, Northland, New Zealand. It is about two and a half hours north of Auckland. There are about 20 holiday homes in the bay and it is a sought after destination for New Zealanders and a favourite surfing destination.

The space

There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms as well at kitchen, dining, living space, laundry and a kitchen.

Guest access

There is a lockbox with a key and a security system. You will be sent information about this before your arrival.. There are stairs up to the house. Once there it is all one level. It is not suitable for people with disabilities.

Notes

If you are able to bring your own sheets and towels that would be great. We realise this won’t work if you are travelling internationally so… There is a box of linen and towels in one of the cupboards. As we live remotely we ask that you wash and dry them before you leave but if that proves difficult talk to us about other alternatives.
