About this property

Kanuka Bay - water view, peaceful.



Come and relax on the deck with stunning water views. In the evening you can sit in the private 4 person spa pool and hear Kiwi, Morepork and Weka calling. Watch the start and end of the boat racing Wednesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons in summer while enjoying a drink on the deck!

We are 7 minutes drive to Russell Township where you will find cafe's, restaurants and shops. Also close by are all the stunning beaches the Bay of Islands has to offer where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, surfing, sunbathing or just a casual stroll. Within 3 minutes walk is the start of the scenic boardwalk/bushwalk to Russell or explore Okiato, the area that was once New Zealand's first capital. Paihia is a short drive away (8KM) via the Car Ferry. Within a 2min drive is the Omata Estate Vineyard.

There are plenty of tourist attractions on offer in the area. The unit contains a folder with a good selection of brochures we are sure that you will find something that suits your taste.

The unit is modern and comfortable for up to 4 people. The double glazed windows keep it warm in the cooler months. Good quality bedding, linen and towels are included with the cost. The Full sized kitchen has a full fridge/freezer and full oven and hob. All furniture including a Smart T.V. for those rainy days.

Tidy 2 bedroom unit attached to the end of the hosts house. Felt private and uninterrupted. Quiet street. Beautiful outlook over Opua marina from the deck and spa. TV not working properly but hosts were going to get fixed. Easy driving distance to Russell but not really easy walking access to get to the beach. Overall a nice place to stay and region to explore

Excellent property, fabulous view.

Jenny’s place is spotlessly clean and very spacious for a couple or family of four. It is well equipped with everything you need to cook a meal and the beds are comfortable. The view from the deck and indeed the living room is spectacular and the whole area of Russell is gorgeous. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Great Hosts and Stunning Views

Firstly the host Jenny was amazing, she was very prompt with communication and made us feel at home. The views were breathtaking. The unit itself was comfortable, and very neat with a well equipped kitchen. We unfortunately did not have the time to enjoy the spa but it looks well maintained. Thank you Jenny for an amazing stay and your hospitality.

Tranquil beauty

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Kanuka Bay. The view from the deck and living area was gorgeous and about the only thing you could hear was birdsong. The hot tub made it extra relaxing. Jenny was a gracious and responsive host who made us feel welcome. We would definitely stay again!

Kanuka Bay Splendour

The stay at Kanuba was even better than provided in the photos. This Bach provides total peace and ultimate relaxation with an awesome view over the Inlet. The place is clean, spacious with all amenities provided in good order. The spa on the deck is an exceptional bonus. The hosts are wonderful and very accommodating. An awesome stay, thank-you.

A lovely property with a incredible view. It is close to Russel and Paihai. You need to take the ferry which is very convenient and runs every 10 minutes (there is an option to drive there but a 20 minute added travel time). The ferry is $17 NZD each way so count this extra cost into the pricing. The property is clean and tidy - the bathroom shower could use a bit of a deeper clean. Everything else was great.
