Oke Beach House is a shining example of considered, sophisticated design, with the home’s flat roof, straight lines and panoramic position announcing it as one of the finest options in the Bay of Islands. Drink in views of verdant islands and passing sailboats in the distance, with the home’s large central area being a natural congregation spot for large groups. Softly furnished bedrooms and refreshing, walk-in showers are ideal after an active day around the locality, while the home’s barbecue can quickly serve up fresh seafood and hearty vegetables for a terrace feast.

Located in one of the North Island’s most picturesque areas, the home is just steps from the sandy beaches and tranquil water of both Hauai Bay and Oke Bay. The nearby Cape Brett Walkway is a fine option for an energizing hike, and offering clear views of the rugged forests and geography of the bay area. A short drive past local bays and over rolling hills will bring guests to the quaint village of Russell, complete with historic settlements, island cruises through the bay, and a nearby range of top-tier dining options.
