"Beside The Sea."More than an apartment! Absolute waterfront. Swim steps away.

"Beside The Sea" is situated in stunning Urquharts Bay-Paradise for swimming and diving. Fishing on the doorstep-cast out the net and catch your bait fish. Sit on the wharf and catch squid for lunch. Safe and calm waters perfect for paddle boarding and an enjoyable fun time for the kids. Many beautiful bays to kayak and explore. Take a hike over to Smugglers Cove, only 20 mins on foot and watch the dolphins. Climb Mt Manaia or the ridge across Mt Lion but don't forget the camera as the views are incredible. When evening comes, relax under the stars and watch the amazing colourful sunsets and if you're lucky you may hear the kiwis calling out. Enjoy total relaxing privacy or join your hosts Anni and Don on the deck or share a game of pool for fun. Ask Don for the local best fishing spots and Anni will guide you to the many artist studios that Whangarei Heads is famous for. "The Pines" golf course is only a 15 min drive and enjoy dinner at "The Jetty" at Parua Bay Pub on the way back. If you feel like a casual drink or meal then pop along to our local Mt Manaia Club (visitors welcome) Come and join us for your holiday at "Beside The Sea" but be warned--you may not won't to leave. We didn't and that's why we now live in "Paradise".

Great hospitality and all details thought of
We were greeted on arrival and shown the accommodation. Our hosts were very welcoming and the property is extremely well set up with great amenities as well as very interesting views and good access to the beach.

Lovely location and hosts
A very nice, clean and comfortable stay looking out at the ocean. Very friendly and accommodating hosts. We Felt like we were far away to have a nice break yet close by to amenities as needed. Nice nearby walks and beaches depending on what level of activity you wanted to get up to. Many thanks for the stay.

Great Stay
Great little get away just minutes from an amazing beach and if the weather is average you still have the option of chilling out and looking straight out to the sea. The unit had all the amenities needed to comfortably settle in after walking the dog. Great hosts who made everything very easy. Would definitely recommend

Located on the estuarine waterfront, this bach and setting were perfect for our family getaway. It was neat, well equipped and provided for all our needs.

Beside the see
From the moment we arrived we were welcomed as part of an extended family, the relationship was friendly, helpful and went beyond expectations. The inside of the unit was fabulous, spotless, well appointed through out, while the views were to die for and best of all our wee dog was welcomed with open arms. A truely, beautiful, relaxing home away from home. Highly recommend.
