18 Ocean Beach Road, Whangarei Heads, Whangarei, Northland

Perched above Urquharts Bay, with stunning views of the glistening harbour and Busby Head scenic reserve, is the ultimate sheltered and private beach bach.

This charming home features two spacious bedrooms, a large bunk room, two toilets, and both indoor and outdoor showers. The internally accessed garage is roomy enough to store all your water gear. The open-plan living and dining areas flow seamlessly onto a covered entertainer's deck, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery. Down the path, you'll find the terraced backyard, which has ample space for pitching tents and is an ideal spot for a future cabin.

The property is just a short walk from the Smugglers Cove Walking Track, which meanders along the coastline, past World War II defense installations, offering views of Mt Manaia, Mt Lion (Matariki), and leading to the renowned Smugglers Cove. It's the perfect spot for swimming, picnicking, or fishing. A short drive brings you to one of Northland finest white sand surf beaches, set against a stunning mountainous backdrop with a clean, long surf break.

This is the ultimate holiday location, away from the hustle and bustle yet only 12.4 km from Parua Bay village and shops, 33 km from Whangārei, and just a 2 hour 40 minute drive from central Auckland.
