About this property
TIROROA : Gorgeous and Private Bay of Islands Home
Tiroroa (meaning “Extensive View”) is the Bay of Islands holiday home that you have been look for. Finished to a very high standard and offering fantastic views of the Bay and surrounding native bush. The breathtaking view and surroundings never cease to amaze as you gaze upon the islands of Urupukapuka, Motarua and Poroporo seemingly floating on the horizon. This stunning landscape makes it one of the absolute must see destinations in New Zealand and is visited by people from all over the globe. Keen sailors will appreciate that Dicks Bay and nearby Jacks Bay are popular and peaceful anchorages on the eastern side of the Bay of Islands. With a sub-tropical climate, visitors to this region enjoy beach and water activities, go exploring the many nature walks, swim with dolphins, sail, surf or just explore the 144 different islands in the bay. The historic township of Russell is the first capital of New Zealand and retains its European charm, drawing residents from all over the world forming a vibrant and friendly community with pop up weekend markets. There is a wide range of dining options from cafes to award winning restaurants showcasing the best of NZ cuisine and produce.
The heart of this recently built home is the huge designer kitchen with high quality appliances and stonework surfaces. Just behind a feature wall the separate lounge area has an open fireplace for the ambience rather than necessity given the eco-efficiency of the build. With a large master suite at one end and two generous double bedrooms at the far end, privacy is guaranteed with all rooms enjoying access to the large covered deck, which has outdoor seating, dining and a BBQ to enjoy the long Northland evenings. The house is well equipped with all the homewares for a perfect self catering holiday, creating memories of a fabulous romantic getaway or a delightful family holiday. Additionally a cosy single room can fit a mattress or camp stretcher (no linen provided.)

What an amazing, beautiful place to stay! The property is perfectly appointed, totally comfortable, and the panoramic view is breathtaking. Our host made sure we had clear driving and access directions. Sit on the deck watching the stars and listen to the kiwis call — fabulous!!
The house is just incredible: luxurious, spacious and well equipped, embedded in the bush, throning on a hill and with a breathtaking view over the bay and it‘s islands. The pictures don‘t do it justice. Just ist back and relax on the terrace that runs the full lenghth of the house or take in the scenery through the huge windows from the dining table. Pretty, historic Russell is nearby with a surprinsingly good infrastructure. Kelly was very helpful and responded immediately to our questions.
An absolutely beautiful spot with spectacular views over the Bay of Islands from the wraparound deck, accessible rain or shine. The house is extremely well appointed, modern and was extremely clean - like a hotel. Owner’s agent highly responsive and helpful. Thank you, we will be back.

The property is in a prefect location if you want fantastic views and a peaceful place to stay. It’s wonderful. Wish we had more time there. It’s amazing. 10
We initially booked for 3 nights but ended up leaving after 2 nights. It’s a beautiful property, but while lounging in the lounge area, we found a dead mouse on the couch which was pretty filthy to look at.
The bedroom was not up to standard - dead mosquitoes on the bed, the toilet wasn’t flushing, and there was no extra blanket or duvet.
I had hoped for a pleasant stay as my partner and I took a holiday after 6 months. But weren’t happy at all.
Hopefully we will have a better stay in Russell next time.
Great property. Fully kitted to have a good time. Loved the toy selection, garage space for the kids to enjoy and even the amazing playground in the middle of the bush! (Lots of muddy clothes to wash but kids loved it - not for kids under 6 I’d say as it’s quite steep).
We’ll definitely come back. Thanks so much for your hospitality!
We had an amazing time at this property. It was excellent in every way - clean, everything that we needed, amazing views and close to swimming & walking tracks.
We absolutely loved Tiraroa! Stunning views, immaculate property, and lovely hosts. Will absolutely be returning, great for a long weekend and even better for a long stay- everything you need!
Highly memorable experience. This is a truly beautiful property and we could have easily stay. The kids also had a fantastic time. If you have the chance, take it! Jason & Fiona, Sydney
Amazing home high on the hill overlooking the bay. Loved everything about the home - could sit for days on the deck and enjoy the view - would go back in a heartbeat - so peaceful and relaxing.
We really love staying here, its quiet and very well set up with amazing views. Thank you for having us once again
