Te Whare Rākau - Paihia Holiday Home

Sit back and relax while taking in the gorgeous ocean views at this classic Kiwi bach in the stunning Bay of Islands. Welcome to Te Whare Rākau!

Just a six-minute drive from the town centre, this Paihia accommodation sets the perfect scene for fuss-free relaxation thanks to open-plan living and fantastic indoor-outdoor flow. Step back in time with the array of vintage furnishings and spend your days on the wrap-around deck, drink in hand and taking in the views.

On a mid-year escape to the Winterless North, the efficient heat pump will ensure you're kept at the perfect temperature as you watch your favourites on the TV and tuck into a meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Complimentary WiFi is also on hand to ensure you stay connected.

Te Whare Rākau has space to sleep six guests across three comfortable bedrooms. Whether it’s a family getaway, or a group of friends on a beach escape, this inviting and well-equipped Paihia accommodation has you covered.

Being just a short six-minute drive from the bustling Paihia township, you’ll be browsing shops or treating yourself to a flat white and a bite to eat in no time.

Soak up the sun and cool off in the sea at one of the nearby beaches, or for the adventure seekers try out a dolphin and whale watching tour, fishing charters, or parasailing; all can be booked from town or the wharf.

Further afield, the Waitangi Treaty Grounds are a nine-minute drive away, or take the ferry over to Russell to explore the local attractions, history, and culture.

Relaxed holiday living doesn’t get much better than this, Te Whare Rākau awaits!
As the deck barrier and interior stair railing are below one meter, all guests should take care in these area due to the risk of falls.This property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility as there is a large step up to get into the shower.Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

This was a really good batch for a family, with one major issue…it smells! I can only guess the owners are long term smokers as no amount of airing reduced the fusty smell. It’s a shame as I would otherwise have stayed here again.
Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2023

Great location, surrounded by tress, sea view, but will not stay there again unless the house get a upgrade, full of spider, bugs, everything is old then 30 years old, even the carpet looks like 1960s, not a good value for money at all.
