The house itself contains - 2 showers, 1 toilet. A 6 burner gas hob, with a 90cm oven. Large fridge/freezer, and a big, deep freezer. Unlimited Wifi so you can still be in touch with your friends. Huge assortment of cutlery and pots and pans, plates, cups etc. Also, an outdoor BBQ (gas bottle incl.) is available for you to use.

We have an extra large smoke tank with Manuka wood to cook your days catch in ready for lunch or dinner.

Ideally situated for the best of everything, we have prime fishing waters almost on our doorstep, ranging from the local harbour to the stunning beaches just a short drive away or bring your own boat and venture further out to sea.

Whether you're a group of friends or a family looking to get away from the bustle of the big city, Te Hapua is the place for you.

Pristine beaches such as the beautiful Spirits Bay with it's crystal clear waters and golden sand or the historic 90 Mile Beach with it's endless iconic scenery.

Surf the nearby Te Paki sand dunes, all these are within a 20-30 minute drive from Te Hapua, very popular tourist spot.

- Bring your own food, as there are no shops in Te Hapua.

The top of New Zealand, Cape Reinga or as we local people call Te Rerenga Wairua is a 30 - 45 minute drive. This is a must see for a first time tourist as the scenery is breathless.

Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only
Pets ok, please advise if bringing. Pets are to remain outside only

Plenty of room to pitch your own tents outside if more people would like to stay at $20 per adult per night

4 Night Stay
Perfect location for all the activities we wanted to do in the Far North. Boat ramp across the road, wharf just down the road. Great for fishing. The hosts were lovely, welcoming people. Thank you Moe and Nutana. The house was basic but had everything we needed. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to come back to the Far North.

Liked: Cleanliness
Most beautiful setting Right at the beach Free horses and cattle everywhere. Location is amazing. Cleanliness disappointing, Mattress super soft, no screens on the windows, mosquitoes ate us alive, water pressure in shower unbelievable strong! Kitchen was well stocked. Huge stove and oven, big fridge and freezer

4/10 Poor

Thomas F.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Needs deep cleaning
It would appear to be a fairly poor town. The place was quiet, but it smelled of urine. It just needs a deep, deep cleaning and repainting to begin with. Lodging is limited in this area, but this was pretty bad. Not up to VRBO standards that we are used to.

Good Location for Fishing
Generally speaking, this bach house is ideal for fishing. However, we had a bad experience arguing with a couple of Maori guys living in that area. At the Te Hapua jetty, they told us the jetty is a private one , not public, so do not fish here. Go away right now. I think this is truly ridiculous.
