Neighbourhood

Cable Bay sits within beautiful Doubtless Bay, in the subtropical “winterless” Far North of New Zealand. This region is known for its spectacular coastline, warm climate, relaxed pace of life, and outstanding natural beauty. Doubtless Bay stretches along the east coast of Northland and includes a collection of stunning beaches with a variety of sand colours from white to golden pink to classic grey found in coastal villages such as Tokerau Beach, Taipā, Cable Bay, Coopers Beach, and Mangonui. Our holiday home is perfectly positioned as a base for exploring Northland and the wider Far North. Highlights include: • Te-Oneroa-a-Tōhē / 90 Mile Beach • Karikari Peninsula, with its wineries and idyllic beaches • The Bay of Islands, one of New Zealand’s premier coastal destinations • Waitangi, site of the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the nation’s founding document For insight to local colonial history, the Butler Point Whaling Museum and Gardens in nearby Hihi offer an exceptional guided experience into local, colonial, maritime history. Bookings essential or call 0800 Museum and ask nicely. https://butlerpoint.co.nz/ You’ll find a variety of places to eat locally, from relaxed restaurants to food trucks, particularly around Coopers Beach, Taipā and Mangonui, famous for its fish and chips. Just down the hill and across the road from the beach is the Cable Bay Store, a beloved local dairy known for outstanding New Zealand ice cream, great cabinet food and excellent takeaway options. Coopers Beach village offers a well-stocked Four Square supermarket with a strong wine and beer selection; a range of essential services including a bakery, beauty salon, massage therapist, hardware store, medical centre , liquor store and more. The Mangonui Cruising Club in nearby Mill Bay also provides a friendly local bar and social hub with meals available on Friday nights which must be pre-ordered by 8PM Thursday - see the Facebook page for details. You need to be signed in by a member but just ask nicely when you arrive. Around 25 minutes away, Kaitaia provides larger, "big box" retail options such as The Warehouse, Mitre 10, Bunnings, Pak’nSave and Farmers, a small department store. It’s not flashy, but it has everything you need. While you’re in Kaitaia, Peekaboo café and restaurant is an excellent choice, recognised nationally for both quality and sustainability. Whether you want beaches, coastal or bush walks, culture, history, good food or simply a slower pace, this region delivers it in abundance. Come and see for yourself!

Nearest airport

Strictly speaking, Kaitaia Airport is the closest airport to Cable Bay, around a 30–35 minute drive away. Barrier Air operates regular direct flights between Auckland and Kaitaia, making it an option worth investigating if you’re travelling domestically or connecting through Auckland. The airport is very small and easy to navigate, with simple facilities, but you’ll need to investigate and arrange onward transport options in advance. The better option could be the Bay of Islands airport, near Kerikeri, is a delight and only a 50 minute drive to our place. Be aware, it's a 45 minute flight to and from Auckland airport to this regional airport, the biggest metropolitan city in Aotearoa New Zealand. There are land transport options from the Bay of Island/Kerikeri Airport to our place in Cable Bay. Be sure to make these arrangements ahead of your arrival. See this website for more information about taxi or rental car options: https://www.bayofislandsairport.co.nz/parking-transfers/

Getting Around

Once here, ideally, you need a car to get around, unless you plan to stay close to home and don't mind walking. The main road, SH 10, is at the end of the Stratford Drive which is off our street. Sadly, being a rural coastal area near a main highway - a road anywhere else in the world - means it's not ideal for cycling. If you're walking, it's a bit of an incline but it's a well-lit street and a well-lit residential complex.
