“Excelent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2012 for a stay in February 2012

We stayed at Tapeka del Mar for 6 days, 14 of us in total (8 adults, 4 kids under 6, and 2 babies). The location is just perfect, the house was impeccable, and we all fit perfectly in the house. We spent every evening sitting on the deck and looking at the sun set in front of us. The garden...

Bay of Islands Beachfront - Tapeka Del Mar
What's Nearby:
Click map pins for more information.
Additional Location Information
Located at the entrance to the world famous Bay of Islands with over 140 nearby Islands. Absolute waterfront location with 180 degree panoramic beach and sea views. Two minutes from historic Russell village and 10 minutes by passenger ferry from Paihia and the historic Waitangi treaty grounds. Tapeka Del Mar is the perfect base to explore the many other places and attractions Northland has to offer from ancient Kauri tree forests to Cape Reinga. All major boat trips including the "Hole in the Rock" and swim with the Dolphins depart locally from nearby Russell wharf. The area also boasts a natural Kiwi habitat and numerous walking tracks. The Bay of Islands is also world famous for big game fishing and clear water diving. This is a private location with no passing traffic noise or road between the house and beach - yet close to Russell township, services, shops, restaurants and numerous attractions. Sit back in the living room or outdoor deck and watch the constant parade of passing vessels and magical sunsets. The Bay of Islands is just over 3 hours drive north of Auckland. The combination of location, views, facilities and attractions is unequalled
