The Kereru's Nest. Overlooking the wonderful Tauranga Bay beach

Overlooking one of New Zealand's Top Ten beaches with stunning views this self contained luxury apartment has the most superb private position. You can hear the magic of the waves and wake up to the very best whispers of New Zealand. And the air…. so clean and pure.
The Kereru's Nest has an incredible beach and sea vista. You won't want to ever leave the private sun terrace in a sheltered garden overlooking the ocean and surrounded by pristine native bush. Enjoy the stimulating drive as it rises deep into the 17 acre property and amongst the mature natives some of the Norths most incredible bird life cheering you on.
This secret corner of New Zealand is by passed by all but the most discerning as they rush past to nearby Mangonui, and the delights of Cable Bay and Doubtless Bay. But, for a moment, you have paused in paradise…enjoy!
Feeling active, (maybe later), try a visit to the beautiful Whangaroa Harbour, so close, and climb the spectacular St Pauls. “A Singular and Beautifully Romantic Place”
Or take one of our sea kayaks and visit the spectacular Hole in the wall

Out there, way up in the North Island
The driveway, is as exciting as some of the one lane bridges that some motorists don't give way, even though well marked. Steep incline, but safe, just be cautious. The unit was like new, note no W/D as set forth in the listing, but the owners who reside upstairs politely took care of our laundry for us. Hot tub brilliant, gas range excellent, you'll need to stop in Kerikeri (about 90 minute round trip) for your cooking needs (Countdown grocery store) as there is nil grocery stores nearby, and only 1 restaurant at the nearby harbor. A large toaster oven, no traditional oven, Plenty of glasses, etc. Salt/pepper was provided, fell in love with NZ King Salmon, absolutely sensational pan fried, 10 mins a side. Fruit trees outside, help yourself, tangerines super sweet. Didn't use the pool as it was too chilly. Beach about 5 minute drive away, wouldn't walk there/back, again due to the steep driveway. Super quiet. Brilliant sunsets. Gorgeous ocean view. If you're playing Kauri Cliffs, 30 minutes away, a meandering, but safe road. Kauri Cliffs a bucket list course to experience, staff were simply sensational. Note off season still NZ$500 per person. Worth it? I'd say yes, we took our time, even on a Saturday was wide open but do note groups do play there periodically, we hit it on a beautiful day with 20 degree weather, mild breeze. The views, both front/back were terrific, particularly 15, 16 & 17. Condition was perfect. Thanks James and Eve, Aloha.

Our best getaway this year!
It was the most ideal spot for some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city - we swam, spa-ed, walked, cooked, ate, and talked daily. Just the “fill up” we needed. Fay was wonderful to deal with and we thoroughly recommend this property. We’ll be back!

Great short break
Great place to base from with great views and facilities. Weather was absolute rubbish but made better with drinks and hot tub! If the weather played ball would have been perfect. Good hosts, good facilities and stunning views...don't be alarmed by the steep drive to the house...well worth it.

Relaxing first trip with puppy
Beautiful spot with gracious and laid-back hosts, James and Fay. Our new puppy loved accompanying us on his first road trip. The bach is very tidy, with comfy beds and a stunning view. Our boys loved the pool, spa and warm outdoor shower. Easy distance to beautiful beaches and walks nearby. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Amazing view - great getaway
Our family (2 adults, a 3-year-old and a 5-month-old) had an amazing stay for three nights! There was plenty of space, everything was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We loved the swimming pool and spa pool. The amazing view topped it off. The hosts were also accommodating and friendly.

Beautiful!
Beautiful and peaceful setting with amazing views over Tauranga Bay. The downstairs apartment was lovely, clean and tidy with everything you need…and the bed was like a cloud to sleep on! The pool area is so nice to lounge around and the temp of the water was perfect for me (approx 29deg) in hot January! The owners upstairs are lovely, really enjoyed meeting them, they were very accommodating and offered to take kayaks to the beach for us anytime…although we were happy around the pool :) Overall a lovely place for a break!

The location of the house overlooking the bay is breath taking and it is only a short drive down the hill to an amazing beach. Hosts communicated well with the book in process and anything else that was required. Very helpful.

Kereru’s nest is a real gem!
We hadn’t been to Tauramga Bay before and were pleased to discover a gorgeous beach in a peaceful, relatively secluded bay. It’s quite a steep drive up to the house but it’s well worth it! The property has an amazing, uninterrupted view over the rolling green hills and the bay with literally all day sun. The apartment was spotless and very well equipped. Our boys made good use of the spa pool and the kayaks that were kindly provided by Fay and James our friendly and accommodating hosts. Overall, We loved our 4-night stay at Kereru’s Nest!
